From Rock to Kraut

From Rock to Kraut is the humorous but difficult journey of a South African journalist from urban Johannesburg to small-town Trier, the oldest town in Germany and birthplace of Karl Marx. Her tale is spiced with accounts of meeting the last surviving officer with Hitler in the bunker, and being at home with right-wing, populist Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn days before his murder. Ten years in the making, this book started off as a collection of intermittent writing, describing the author's personal experiences and difficulties of settling in Germany. From Rock to Kraut is recommended for South African expats and anyone thinking of moving to Germany. Available via the book's Web site.
