Zwickau
Exhibition: "Leseland DDR"
The exhibition, published by the Federal Foundation for the Study of the Communist Dictatorship in Eastern Germany, sheds light on the history of the GDR through the lens of its literature.
The exhibition looks back at decades during which politically undesirable literature was hardly accessible. It impressively illustrates the curious ways in which people nevertheless gained access to these books, as well as the diversity of GDR literature. "Leseland DDR" (Reading Country GDR) is aimed at anyone interested in cultural history and literature. The exhibition also serves as a complementary resource for school education, introducing the younger generation to this chapter of German history in an informative and vivid manner. Admission to the exhibition is free of charge during the regular opening hours of the Ratsschulbibliothek and is expected to be on display until 2028.
