"We, the Children of the Berlin Zoo" (original title: "Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo") is a novel-documentary with a shocking truth that broke the silence on drug use by young people.

The book is an extraordinary autobiography of Christiane Vera Felscherinow and other teenagers of West Berlin, in the late 1970s.

It was first published in 1979 by German journalists K. Hermann and H. Rieck and starring Christiane Vera Felscherinow and was born out of a series of interviews that journalists conducted for about two months with Christiane, who at the time was accused and witnessed in a trial, which ended in June 1978 with her conviction for drug use and prostitution.

 "We, the children of the Berlin Zoo", published by Pegi, is equipped with real photos of the protagonists of history, places where they gathered, discos and crossroads where they were forced into prostitution.

Christiane Vera Felscherinow (Hamburg, May 20, 1962) from a young drug addict turned into a symbolic figure against drug abuse as well as the problems of young people in German society. After the release of the book, he tried to dedicate himself to his music career and has led a nomadic life. Years later, he fell prey to heroin again, after which he underwent therapy. She lives in Berlin and has a son.
