Here is a fantastic story on pipe maker Karlo Joura.
He was a refugee of WWII as a child, barely escaped East Germany when he was 19 (his friends got caught and thrown in jail), and eventually became a high grade pipe maker. His pipes sell in the range of $1,000 to $10,000!
Now, at 73-years old, his son and daughter are involved in the family business. This is a great story with several great photos. Check it out -

I recommend the movie "Goodbye Lenin" for some relatively non-political but emotional and practical context.
