Original Caption

"Lake Balaton - the start of our escape. In order to camouflage our plans to leave the country, we went on a trip to Lake Balaton in August 1989. It was organised by the GDR youth travel agency, 'Jugendtourist'. At that point, we were very much planning on escaping via the Green Line towards Austria."
