If you want to know what happens to “The 18-Year-Old Who Wrote a Note and Disappeared”, you have to read “Deep in the West” by Tommy H. Jannot.
In the summer of 1984, “The 18-Year-Old Who Wrote a Note and Disappeared” was driven directly across the border from the Stasi prison.
After a few days in two emergency shelters, he ended up in Wuppertal. Read the continuation of his diary to find out what happens to him “Deep in the West”.
