Vaterlandsverräter

Der größte Feind im ganzen Land, das ist und bleibt der Denunziant. Diesen Spruch seiner Mutter hatte der Schriftsteller Paul Gratzik, aus einfachen Verhältnissen in den 1970ern zu einem gefeierten Vertreter der DDR-Literaturszene emporgestiegen, immer im Ohr. Trotzdem war er 20 Jahre lang Inoffizieller Mitarbeiter des DDR-Staatssicherheitsdienstes, schrieb Berichte über Freunde und Förderer wie Heiner Müller, Steffie Spira und Ernstgeorg Hering. Anfang der 1980er stieg Gratzik aus, enttarnte sich selbst und wurde seinerseits zum Objekt der Stasi-Beobachtung.

Once with the Stasi, always with the Stasi? Once you were in the agent controller's grasp you could never escape - that's what they say, anyway. Writer Paul Gratzik was an unofficial informer for the GDR State Security Service for twenty years, broke with them in the 80's and exposed his identity. 'Vaterlandsverraeter' ('Traitors to the Fatherland') is a portrait of an exceptional man whose tumultuous life was propelled to extremes. Now more than 20 years after the end of the GDR, this is a story that was never told before.
