As a pastor in the GDR, he was part of the resistance against the SED dictatorship, later Joachim Gauck was a member of the freely elected People&#8217;s Chamber and from 2012 to 2017 he was Federal President. With this wealth of experience from dictatorship and democracy, he warns that democracy is under threat. Gauck asks: Is our society prepared to defend democracy resolutely? Why do we lack an awareness of our values? Why do politicians create intellectually embellished realities? But Gauck would not be Gauck if he did not also invoke confidence. A stimulating book that does without complicated formulations and is easy to read.       <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joachim Gauck, the admonisher for freedom and democracy, takes a close look at enemies of the system and analyzes democracy.
