Early Life and Education
Joachim Gauck was born on January 24, 1940, in Rostock, Germany.
His mother was a skilled office worker and his father joined the Nazi Party in 1934. Gauck grew up with a strong anti-communist sentiment due to his father's arrest and imprisonment on charges of espionage and anti-Soviet propaganda.
This experience influenced his political views and led him to reject joining the pro-communist Free German Youth.
