Christiane F: Wir Kinder vom Bahnhoff Zoo

"Wir, Kinder vom Bahnhoff Zoo" by "Christiane F", memoir of a teenage heroin addict and prostitute, was a massive bestseller in Europe and is now a set text in German schools.

Bahnhoff Zoo was, until recently, Berlin's central railway station. A kind of equivalent (in more ways than one) to London's King's Cross...

Of course my local library doesn't have it. So I'm going to have to order it through a bookshop and plough through the text in German. I asked my druggieworker Maple Syrup, who is Italiana how she learned English and she said reading books is the best way.

For some reason every section except Part 1 is ENGLISH SUBTITLED ~ wahey!

Thanks for sharing that video. The more that people can be made aware of the problem the more harm reduction programs might be started. Thank you.
