Peter Brasch

Peter Brasch (born * 18. September 1955 in Cottbus, Germany; died + 28. Juni 2001 in Berlin, Germany) was a German author and writer of screenplays, stage plays and radio plays. Brasch was son of Austrian-Jewish immigrants in England, who fled from persecution of the Jews in Germany in 1939 and came back to Germany in 1946. He studied German philology until expatriation of Wolf Bierman in East Germany. Because of Brasch's protest he has been ex-matriculated. He is the brother of actor Klaus Brasch, the author and director Thomas Brasch and the radio journalist Marion Brasch. The Brasch siblings were known for partly speaking critically of the system in East Germany, where all of them used to live in at one time or another.
