Contract workers from Vietnam, Mozambique and Angola helped the GDR to achieve prosperity. However, contract workers remained largely invisible in everyday life away from the factories. The situation was similar for guest workers in the West. They came from Turkey, Italy or Greece. Their labor was gladly used for the \u201ceconomic miracle\u201d. In both parts of Germany, their status and acceptance changed with the fall of communism. After 1989\/90, many of the \u201cguests\u201d in the former GDR lost their source of income and had to leave the country. This still has consequences today, as the example of the \u201cMadgermanes\u201d in Mozambique shows. For those who remained in East Germany, a new era dawned after 1989: Exclusion, violence and hatred dominated the \u201cbaseball bat years\u201d, which reached their sad climax with the attacks in Hoyerswerda and Solingen in both East and West.<\/p>\n
