following the peaceful revolution. The magazine program also presents some of
East Germany’s culinary and creative accomplishments that have survived to this day.
This year’s official ceremony marking German Unity Day is taking place in Potsdam.
Check-in presenter Nicole Frölich takes the opportunity to visit places in the Branden-
burg state capital that are closely associated with the division and eventual reunification
of Germany. One example is the Glienicke Bridge, also known as the “Bridge of Spies,”
where captured agents were often swapped for their counterparts.

Hurting for the Truth
The US has been using torture as an interrogation method in the “War on Terror” since
9/11. A lesser-known fact is that shortly after World War Two, the CIA began carrying
out scientific research on torture methods in cooperation with doctors. With the help
of prestigious universities and the support of various governments, psychiatric exper-
iments were carried out – often on completely unsuspecting patients. Contemporary
psychological interrogation techniques are based on the outcomes of these studies,
for example torture through sensory deprivation. This is described as “white torture”
or “clean torture” because unlike physical violence, it leaves no visible traces.
The documentary “No one shall be subjected to torture!” examines the history
of torture in the US – from the first research programs through to application of
those techniques in Afghanistan, Iraq and also on US soil. Photo: SWR/Encanto
Starting Thu 22 October 02:00 Peter Wohlleben (l.), Barbara Wussow and
