Situated in the former East Berlin, but still in the east of Berlin lies the Baumschulenweg cemetery. It's a place of stories, personal stories that only the close relatives know, but also stories that have entered world history.

Jason Honea and Rinus van Alebeek went there to find out about one of the secrets the DDR regime tried to hide from their population, but they discovered so much more. The visit became an excursion. Join the Radio On team on their walk between the spirits that surrounded them.

All sounds and conversations were recorded and edited by Adrian Shephard.
