With the Unites States in the process of trying to build a Wall, now is the time to revisit an era when the U.S. was in the business of tearing them down. In their joint memoir, Ghosts of East Berlin, Santa Barbara, California residents, Celeste McConnell Barber and her son, Eric Friedman, recollect their experience as some of the first and only ordinary Americans to live behind the infamous Berlin Wall. Their raw memoir is a stark reminder of the destructive power of walls yet an inspiring tale of how the human spirit can overcome the most barbaric of barriers. It was January, 1988 when Celeste and Eric departed to live in East Berlin, the city at the center of Cold War politics – among the first Americans to be invited to the Eastern Bloc under Gorbachev’s glasnost (openness) policy. The late Frank McConnell, Professor of English at U.C. Santa Barbara, had been awarded a Fulbright grant by the International Exchange of Scholars to teach at Humboldt University as part of a global effort to enhance cultural exchange and communications between the West and Eastern Bloc nations. Ghosts of East Berlin is their story of how an ordinary American Family did their small part to take down the Berlin Wall and in the process have it change them forever. “Just six months after President Reagan issued his challenge – ‘Tear down this wall!’ -- and suddenly we were traveling in a subway through No Man’s Land. Most remarkable, our family of three became goodwill ambassadors for our country,” – Celeste McConnell Barber “I was only 10 years old, my world instantly expanded from a local to a global perspective. It was a lot to grasp at the time, but the friendships I forged and the foreign view of my home country changed me on a fundamental level. Twenty-five years later and I am still discovering how those six months impacted me as a child and adult, in my understanding of the responsibility of being an American citizen, and the significance that I am a descendant of European Jews.” Their memoir highlights the challenge of everyday life under Socialism, as the family grappled with both the American Embassy and German Stasi and the joys of simply engaging with East Berliners on the most human level, walls be damned!

If you had to choose between saving one person's life or lifting a hundred from extreme poverty, which would you pick? What if your choice was between saving a hundred lives or lifting only one person from extreme poverty? How do you compare empowering people through education to reducing suffering from illness or protecting the environment? These are the types of questions many thoughtful donors ask, and they have both moral and practical implications. When choosing where to give, it isn't enough to demonstrate that a nonprofit does good things. Donors interested in improving the world must consider the benefits relative to other giving options, even those that are very different. This is a challenging task, requiring a significant amount of knowledge based on information that is not easily available and controversial judgments. Though many people in philanthropy ignore difficult issues surrounding how to prioritize among multiple good causes, Reinventing Philanthropy puts them front-and-center. Readers shouldn't expect a feel-good book that praises every donor and paints a picture of all charitable giving as equally good, nor should they expect simple answers to difficult questions. Instead, Reinventing Philanthropy is a hard-nosed, critical analysis of the difficult issues that donors must address to make the most of their giving. It will make readers more thoughtful about their giving, and ultimately more effective.
