A companion to the permanent exhibition
von Sören Marotz, Elke Sieber und Stefan Wolle, herausgegeben von Quirin Graf Adelmann v. A. und Gordon Freiherr von Godin, aus dem Deutschen übersetzt von Andrew SmithNestling behind the Iron Curtain, the 16 million inhabitants of the German Democratic Republic have come to be viewed as a care-worn people forced to make do and mend with only nude swimming and a special form of pickled gherkin to enliven a very drab life. What was life really like under Socialism? Was it all Stasi repression and shortages or a Socialist paradise of full employment and social security? Take a look »behind the wall« and find out for yourself. All our exhibits are waiting to be touched, used and experienced – start the Trabi, try on the clothes and reach inside the drawers and cupboards. This companion volume to the exhibition introduces readers to life as lived under German Socialism – 66 chapters telling a scintillating yet balanced story recreated by our inhouse experts.
