Information from the organisers

"How does the GDR society still affect the lives of East Germans today? French historians Agnès Arp and Élisa Goudin-Steinmann have investigated this question in their book. The biographical interviews they conducted with 30 former GDR citizens allow for closeness and immediacy, nuances and differentiation - beyond the often one-sided public perception of the GDR as a dictatorship. The interviews reflect the devaluation, re-appropriation and revaluation of East German life paths and show a diverse view of East German realities.
