A student who had been chosen as the Table Topics leader the previous class period stands up in front of the class and tells a story about a vacation he took to Berlin in December 1989. He tells about his feelings as he walked into West Berlin for the first time. Then he calls on another student, asks her to come up to the front of the class and tell about her experiences the first time she crossed the border from East to West. The Table Topics leader takes a seat and the student he had called on comes to the front and talks for about two minutes on her first experience in the West. Then she sits down, the Table Topics leader comes back up to the front, thanks her for her story, and continues his own story. He tells how he left the Wall, took a train through West Berlin to KDW, the largest department store in Europe. He tells about his feelings as he bought his first book by Nietzsche, an author who was banned in the GDR. He then calls on another student in the classroom and asks her to talk about something that she had been very excited to buy. The Table Topics leader sits down and listens with the rest of the class as this student comes to the front of the class and tells about the time she decided to buy a new car. She tells how she made her selection and how she felt when she bought it. After she ends her story, the Table Topics leader comes back up to the front, thanks the student for her story, and resumes his narrative. He continues telling parts of his story, intermittently asking students to come to the front to talk on a related subject. He calls on four students in this way, then ends his story by telling how he traveled back to his home in East Germany. He then takes a seat and the Table Topics session is finished.
