"On 17 June 1953 almost one million East Germans took to the streets to demand the
removal of the ruling communist regime and better living conditions, before Soviet
steel and lead put an end to the unrest. Condemned as an attempted 'fascist putsch'
in the East, the communist regime attempted to shape how citizens remembered the uprising,
fearing that memories and awareness of the uprising might inspire further opposition
and a possible repeat of the unrest. Utilising interviews with former East German
citizens as well as archival research, this book examines the extent to which the
East German regime succeeded in shaping citizens' memories of the uprising and thus
the extent to which it was able to 'control' its citizens"
