An Ambiguous Witness
The novelist Stefan Heym fled Germany in the 1930s and returned after the war with the American army. In the 1950s he took exception to the McCarthy hearings, renounced his US citizenship and settled in East Germany, where he has lived ever since, much to the confusion of the authorities there. In conversation with Philip Brady , Reader in German at Birkbeck College, London, Heym talks about his fiction, his life and his political beliefs. Producer DAVID PERRY
