Review of the GDR

The event not only offers a way to entertain, but also to reflect on the history of the GDR. In connection with the topic, you can remember the numerous myths and reality during this time. The GDR was characterized by surveillance, censorship and a strict border regime, which prevented many citizens from escaping into the West. The stories and cultural life of this time are processed in educational formats, which show how freedom and human rights were restricted in the GDR, such as srf.ch

The linking of this film screening with the history of Defa fairy tale art offers both a cultural and an educational perspective on this formative time in German history.
