Peter Zimmerman traced the history of the East German struggle against the communist government and the reunification process. Mr. Zimmerman was one of the “Leipzig Six” and was heavily involved in informing against his colleagues at Leipzig University to the East German government and was a leading proponent of reform of the East German economy.
