- 1. Document Recovery: Stasi Records Office
Notas do Editor
- The GDR was formed in response to the creation of the Federal Republic of Germany on May 23 rd , 1949 as a result of the Parliamentary Council in Bonn adopting the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany–a statute which established Bonn as the capital of the country and was meant to solidify German political power in the West.
- The MfS so impressed the KGB, that they were invited to set up a satelite office in Leningrad to monitor East German tourist. Stasi methods differed from that of the Gestapo (prison camps) or KGB (execution); they relied on psychological warfare in order to coerce cooperation.
- Burning was more effective, but alerted angry German citizens to the cites where they tried to block the destruction of records. When destruction began at the main headquarters in Berlin, a more subtle method was agreed upon.
- Appraisal went out the window, the protesters threw away several documents they couldn’t make sense of due to damage. What impact does this have on reconstructing memory of events during the Cold War in Eastern Germany? How does this affect people researching their own records?
- In 2000 the BStU sent the records to a warehouse in Magdeburg, Germany. The records fill three stories and 60,000 sq. ft. of space.
- The German parliament gave the Institute $9 million for the first 400 bags of documents. The remaining costs come from scanners, staffing and training expenses. Critics are wondering whether the project is worth the cost, especially in this economic climate.
