Book presentation "A brief illustrated history of the GDR"
with Dr. Ulrich Mählert and Thomas Henseler, moderated by Judith Poznan (Jacoby & Stuart publishing house)
Publication date: 01.04.2025
"A Brief Illustrated History of the GDR" outlines 40 years of the GDR, from its foundation to its end. Thomas Henseler and Susanne Buddenberg have taken a non-fiction book as a basis, divided it into small text tidbits and prepared it with many illustrations, sketchnotes, comics and symbols. The adaptation is based on Dr. Ulrich Mählert's "A Brief History of the GDR".
The GDR as a pawn of the world powers, the history of the development of the SED, the power struggles of the powerful behind the scenes, the development of the GDR from its foundation to its downfall are visualized in a revealing way. Names become faces, historical dates become calendar pages and metaphors are taken literally so that younger readers in particular can form a picture of the GDR.
