20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall,many eastern Germans still look back nostalgically on the old communist system. About half the eastern Germans asked in a survey said the dictatorship had more good sides than bad.The survey shows that even 20 years after the end of the division of Germany,integrating the two sides remains difficult. We visit the town of Artern in the eastern state of Thuringia to capture the mood on the street. Unemployment remains high here. The local mayor is from Germany's Left Party - the successor to East Germanys communists.
