À propos de Wolf Biermann

The DDR's most famous dissident musician. Son of a Jewish resistance fighter murdered at Auschwitz, Biermann emigrated to East Germany out of Communist idealism. Banned from performing in 1965, his citizenship was revoked in 1976 while touring West Germany — triggering the biggest artist-led protest in DDR history.
