Everyday life in the GDR in 200 objects

Everyday objects and consumer goods were more important than they are today. They were used for longer and frequently repaired. While the West was referred to as a »throw-away society«, in the East we could be thought of as a »society of keepers«. In this book, we bring the past into the present. The detailed photographs by Thorsten Heideck and Adrian Serini, and the texts by historian and GDR expert Dr Stefan Wolle offer a broad spectrum of life in the GDR.
