Since its opening in 2006, the DDR Museum in the heart of Berlin has been following a unique path. The exhibition tells the story of the realities of life for the people who lived in this country. It does so without embellishment or demonisation. This book attempts to do the same. It aims to be more than a museum catalogue, namely a kind of guidebook through the maze of conflicting memories. It presents the current state of research and public debate on the GDR in an understandable form and offers food for thought for further engagement with the past and future of our society. Divided into ten thematic areas, the book describes the various aspects of life in the GDR in short, concise and richly illustrated articles. Twenty-one "special objects" from the permanent exhibition are presented, providing a common thread through the GDR Museum's exhibition.
The publication is suitable for preparing for a trip to Berlin, but is also useful for visitors who want to deepen their knowledge after walking through the exhibition.
Revised new edition to mark the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Peaceful Revolution.
