I soon realized that we were going to be recruited to work for the GDR (East Germany) in West Germany. We could actually make a difference here especially as US-Americans. It was clear to both of us that the Cold War was a war that had only one goal: to defeat socialism. We lived in the focal point between East and West. We were young and had the strength and energy to help secure peace. The gripping autobiography of Beatrice Altman-Schevitz and Jeffrey Schevitz who spied for the GDR in West Germany: During the Cold War they wanted to play their part in preventing a hot war and at the same time strengthen socialism in East Germany. Exposed in 1994 they misled federal prosecutors and German courts with the legend that they had worked for the CIA. In her extraordinary life story the author describes how she - coming from a conservative Jewish family in Buffalo New York - met the left-leaning sociology professor Jeffrey Schevitz. Instead of following their dreams and starting a new life in the GDR they began a double life in West Germany where they procured secret information passing it on to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of State Security. As an agent for peace she stood up for ideals that she continues to hold to this day.
