By looking at state-sponsored memory projects, such as memorials,
commemorations, and historical museums, this book reveals that the
East German communist regime obsessively monitored and attempted to
control public representations of the past to legitimize its rule.
It demonstrates that the regime's approach to memory politics was
not stagnant, but rather evolved over time to meet different
demands and potential threats to its legitimacy. Ultimately the
party found it increasingly difficult to control the public
portrayal of the past, and some dissidents were able to turn the
party's memory politics against the state to challenge its claims
of moral authority.
