17th June - Berlin
The memorial is a photo of to the first ever major anti-communist uprising in Europe, on June 17th, 1953. About 250 were killed and 1000s arrested, in part by the East German Stasi. Our Red Berlin Tour will take you through East Berlin and tell what life was like on the other side of the Berlin Wall. Here there are two versions of life in East Germany: the truth, here; and the propaganda.
The ‘social realist’ style of painting for their inspiring posters and murals actually comes from the US.
