Citizenship, Nationality And Migration In Europe

An insight into the experience of life within the East German dictatorship What was life really like for East Germans, effectively imprisoned behind the Iron Curtain? The headline stories of Cold War spies and surveillance by the secret police, of political repression and corruption, do not tell the whole story. After the unification of Germany in 1990 many East Germans remembered their lives as interesting, varied, and full of educational, career, and leisure opportunities: in many ways “perfectly ordinary lives.”
 Using the rich resources of the newly-opened GDR archives, Mary Fulbrook investigates these conflicting narratives. She explores the transformation of East German society from the ruins of Hitler’s Third Reich to a modernizing industrial state. She examines changing conceptions of normality within an authoritarian political system, and provides extraordinary insights into the ways in which individuals perceived their rights and actively sought to shape their own lives.
 Replacing the simplistic black-and-white concept of “totalitarianism” by the notion of a “participatory dictatorship,” this book seeks to reinstate the East German people as actors in their own history.

In many of the recent studies of bystanders during the Holocaust, the reliance on postwar perspectives has made it difficult to accurately portray the motivating factors at the time. In this essay about German bystanders to anti-Jewish persecution during the 1930s, Mary Fulbrook addresses that problem by relying solely on contemporary sources, and provides a uniquely sharp and nuanced understanding.
