This Book Says More Than the Entire Exhibition
This article centers on an exhibition entitled "Berlin in the Twentieth Century" put on by the East Berlin tourist office between late 1961 and early 1963. The exhibition opened just two months after the border's sealing through Berlin and drew over 300,000 visitors. Helping to justify the East German communist dictatorial regime's building of the Berlin Wall, the exhibition argued for separate historical roots of East and West Germany. This arti…
Not Special People
In the 1980s, East Germany granted gay people extraordinary new rights in an attempt to neutralize them as a threat to the communist regime. Within this context of change, though, the East Berlin municipal government refused gay activists permission to form a state-sanctioned club for homosexuals. Speaking to the place of civic life in the country and the history of everyday life of East German lesbians and gay men, this article has two goals. Fi…
Homosexual People Do Not Stand Outside of Socialist Society
This article centers on four petitions (Eingaben) presented to the East German Central Committee in the 1970s and 1980s by men attracted to other men. The East German legal apparatus required that the state address all petitions.

The petitioners used the Eingaben system to assert their legitimacy as G…
Fighting the Cold War in Post-Blockade, Pre-Wall Berlin
The borders of Cold War-divided Germany have been seeing a research boom. Edith Sheffer’s pathbreaking 2011 study Burned Bridge: How East and West Germans Made the Iron Curtain centred on the adjacent towns of Neustadt and Sonneberg divided by the boundary. In 2014, Sagi Schaefer’s States of Division: Border and Boundary Formation in Cold War Rural Germany appeared, followed in 2015 by Yuliya Komska’s analysis of the West German–Czechoslovak fron…
"Struggles in "the Stronghold of World Imperialism
This article centers on the League of People's Friendship of the German Democratic Republic. The League, composed of a main organization in East Berlin and national partner societies scattered around the globe, served as a tool of nontraditional diplomacy for East Germany's ruling communist party across much of the Cold War. This article sketches out the activities of the League's partner organizations in the U.S.-the first analysis to do so-argu…
