through thousands of audio and video tapes were carefully archived, the countless private citizens were also monitored, observed in wire topped like new shales, schlosser, who assembled an airplane in his shed in order to flee to the west. colleagues who worked his informants for the styles that you betrayed him today. there was a replica of his plane in the memorial. thus organized the original lab. i no longer exists now since 5 months in child health, just because i built the plane, tigers declared to criminal justice, eyes full question. the glove, l. fulton, the stars he called it operation rigorous. interviewing those responsible at the time is difficult. most do not want to talk about that time or their involvement. but a former lieutenant colonel agreed to an anonymous interview about operation address

. lots of discounts that we minutes nights to secure the entire property about the football symbol. it was a covert search on official douglas division 8 and took the property to go or opened the garage and carried out the searches the easiest on. then they told us they had found the plan. if he came, we could take them into custody right away or we waited overnight instead and arrested him from work the next morning. about shot of me. she has schlosser went to prison for 4 and a half years. the west german government bought his release for 96000 marks is all the sudden. oh sorry all the slash just get on. i did nothing wrong in that situation for the card and i have no blood in my hands. so the part from the shaw suitcase, i never caused a permanent term to any one,

but that's the wisdom of the loan. but the time under, i have to live with that for an oil, unless it was obviously it was michelle schlosser now leads to our groups through the memorials. these young people from seeker live in north ryan, west valia visit the oldest part of the seller. nothing. we have actually in the middle of the building, and this is where the soviet military administration came in and spots on the line to come in 1947, the soviet k g be set up a raymond prison in the basement of what was then an old cardboard box factory. a sprawling labyrinth of sellers dumped. the fox hole was built beneath the current apartment buildings the long bouts. miss kaiser, the thousands of real or a legit nazis war criminals. and the opponents of the regime were held in the

basement prison sentence to death or to work in soviet labor camps. when he hummed on the hill, these a little tough scale up the vehicles in. no, i'm good parts of setting or uncomfortable on the hill. i conducted home the center instead of being into cell fish. this human from then on arrested every one who looked suspicious, including 14 and 15 year old on the swan because i thought the pin flak helpless port, or in the militia home. or in this, in the i know when they were holding me to be shipped off the full crew talk to come. does this look that was the coolest that stolen is built above the arctic circle, like larva computers and see how to stop even if they were all sentenced 25 years. right? because punishment. you haven't got transferred directly from. yeah, that's law or district. i just offer one most done for the hours that to 10 your

plan in tops, there was no reason to wash and hide check on the toner to let the. there was hardly any light column, least it was almost empty. elizabeth, this isaac, most of the only things in here, the small and buckets in the cell to use when they took off the n. t as in titan, glen, illinois, and costs almost nothing at all. no comics they could find the prisoner slipped on the floor. a mattress or whatever else i could find was locked, wouldn't blind, soft tissue stuck in 1953 on the gym and state security came up finally continued to use it as a detention center. i'm not till is all they built, wouldn't call the 1st toilet in this room because of this. i need to let the field line get bought and then i am alone. we're done. later, it was completely rebuilt us to the bond at the time they both and tradesmen who were convicts from g d o, a presence of faith and set up a work squat off initiative. open the they rebuild have been expanded everything and at yahoo or not within. i'm all i have to go month to compare the meetings with

the pin this alice for more knowledge. depaula hoffman. the bible. hi michelle. yeah. was taken into custody in 1982. she was 28 years old at the time and had 2 young daughters. she spent 19 months here and was housed in the common so with other women. that's the system for these task. this cell was for the women prisoners among 6 women were crowded in here. it was always full. that's what it multi 1000000000 she and her husband had applied in 1982 to emigrate to west germany. the asked on top this afternoon to the 1st application was rejected. we didn't give up the struggle. collab 9 to the ones up to 1982. we went to the west german diplomatic mission. they don't give us from then on. we were under

surveillance. come investigating cynthia thorne and on september 14th 1982, we were arrested. we'll have to to barbara michelle. yes. was sentenced to 2 years in prison for slander and treason for children were allowed to stay with her sister in law. the spanish asked my have they didn't go into the main cell house right away to ask my in so much they had to be in a standing cell 1st as finished, trying to come only after them because i sent in to the cell house. in my inbox once a week, we could go to the laundry area for refresh here. once a week, i love it and she spent her entire sentence here on boston as positive as cheap labor for the saucy, missing in russian. i was given this problem. i've only worked in the wash outside and we also had to clean here from this upstairs in the interrogation room. and down here on the 2nd floor, we look forward,

natasha. now she feels lucky to have stayed in the dressed installs the prison and not a women's presence violation. seizure, so i need a shock. no, i was so mentally shattered that i just cried. shopped online and looked at twice i dreamed about my mother and about my children. now that's happened and that was a huge emotional, very good. you know, high last it shopped on a will to, to become i was given set, it is fine for mission results. i you're right clicking, but as time to get me back on my feet, when mine suargo, similar to my sister and brother in law came to see me every 6 weeks. and your daughters or not the girls. how long were you away from them? no d 9, some more. not that the whole 19 months that i was here to shop for. so it's, it's awesome. i haven't. i tried not to think about it this time today for so

to so talking to you, i tried to find some sense of balance i. defenses for sister in law brought her some work and she began to crochet dogs in prison. at the shop in the green foxes, i appreciate a green and black one and the blue and black one is 12. and i wanted to make my children happy plight in my home every week. and she wrote letters to her daughters who were only one and 3 years old at the time. the letters she received in prison from her family had been preserved. barbara's our mission, your sister in law made sure that your daughters did not forget her while she was in prison. the she had him on from them, which she always talked about may as momma want us to be open to prepare the girls . that's the kindle full behind it. on bottles are michelle,

you divorced her husband in prison and withdrew her application to emigrate. after his release, he went to the west and she returned to her children. the blue doll is still on display today in the museum. looks candler and cloud schumann, the men from the blue under bridge turned 18, installs the prison the 4 months before their trial are deeply in their memories. 4th 10 tons 18 on january the 15th i thought maybe they would open the door and tell me that open to miss. i cannot go home cuz the house and then not on the 9th of the 14th, i tracked me off of the band 8 times for interrogation. you couldn't sleep soundly

when you did sleep. it was only for an hour or so. i lost all sense of time the next night they did it 3 more time. comments can put sizes and focuses over time. uh do you remember which cell you were in? good. yes, sorry. well, were standing in front of it. my cell number 14, we no longer have names. scott, at 14 ones that's on the left and 14 to select on the right. some sounds tournament him to this day. and this has meant to crash metal metal each month. i get this, i want to do it now. the thing will probably should i just okay, it will be loud. but the worst memories are of this room. the position of the tires must, must have been confined to the dock cell for nights on the day off. so nobody told me why was that? and that wasn't even the toilet. and this out from one to the who is that some not

. and i would law from monkey from outside and refused to let you go the that was the worst period to make the closet after 4 months in custody. the trial began. they all received prison sentences on the day of the verdict. they saw each other and their parents for the 1st time since their arrest. the middle in winchester market up is the 1st time we saw each other and the parents with that as well crying, of course, that i was the 1st contacts without power. and the 2nd much in the new document, while at the end, my mother was allowed to help me. and she told me she was proud that i was being held as a political prisoner. i'm not a criminal. the good to of anna was also a political prisoner. he is still traumatized. he was imprisoned for distributing leaflets and writing slogans on buildings. one night and 1962,

the stars the arrested him. he doesn't i'm just getting light. people were looking. i felt above low as being arrested or the my young life was oliver from the time being. that's when i ended up here through 7 months. so it's a loan of cos. it was pretty hard because you have absolutely nothing. i'm pulling that you can't was a handkerchief. nothing personal. nothing. a. yeah old for you. 20 great care was taken to ensure that the prisoners could not see each other little on speaking. a traffic light system showed when someone was returning from interrogation. then all the other cells stayed closed. the only communication between the prisoners was via the toilet pipes and knocking signals. the

even that was stopped. the stones, he invented an interference transmitter, the early interrogations were fruitful, but overtime became more settled. historian tyco norman has researched the styles these methods extensively as a nuisance to guy on the ultimate. now we have it from quite reliable sources that physical violence played a greater role in the 1950s then in the 60s, seventies and eighties. that's because the interrogation process had become more professional funding. there was more and more academic training for a new generation of interrogator to san diego, help them in the week. and i thought, so want to know when the torture you are referring to is called light torture. which includes sleep deprivation, highest applying psychological pressures so that the scars didn't show on the skin,

but remained in the mind in the psyche. this went on until the 1980s, and of course, always depended on how co operative, the accused was during interrogation. and deb, before the funding for the aim was always to get a confession looks. candler went through counts list interrogations. during his guided tours at the museum, he tries to give young people a sense of it. a scott, this was an interrogation relative to a 2 or 3 of these range that will need the interrogate to us up here. shows an emergency switch down here and he could pressure the prisoner of the head, jumped across the tablets. which as far as we know, never happened, and there was a job to take the cross out of the job and spent it on the chat. then you

dropped your pants and sit down with tom. and i've got to run fuel pump back and forth from side to side on the trough and stand up and fold the truck and put it back in the job. it was very important to preserve body sense. so sniffer dogs could find people later. records of the interrogations had been kept. that's a very strong navigation. we're not to let you on these things. we already told you it's noon that we have the evidence. i told you today at the start of the whole thing, you know, have the opportunity to briefly respond to this occupation. do you admit it or do you not submitted? i did not submit it. in the fall of 1989, the people brought an end to the g. d r. the stalls we began destroying thousands

of files on ged or citizens and its offices. when word of a spread, people set off for bouts, and there's plaza, just stopped the destruction. the on december 5th, 1989 fritz sleeper, 1st from west germany was visiting his family and president. he heard on the radio that people had gathered at the styles, the headquarters, english, raised in several 1000 citizens, have occupied the office for state and security. a new pharmacy focused person has appealed to those president not to use violence. and he quickly packed his video camera and drove to the scene that comes with a view on an office to the front office. suddenly a young man climbed onto the container over standing on putting a foot masking tape over the blinking red lights on my camera. and told me i was a perfect target this knife as he is on his off fits and i looked up. and so people

on the rooftop loudecker's done. i don't know if they were snipers out of my heart nearly stars. we die. i suddenly realized that what i was doing wasn't exactly sikes. i got the call for a peaceful riley in front of the stalls. the headquarters came from the new forum and the group of 20 hair bed wagner, who later became dressed in his 1st democratically elected mayor, played a leading role at the time. because i'm sure i'm for me to talk. i know what your thoughts asked me if i was prepared to register a demonstration with him in front of the state security building complex. that's your and submitted. that was my greatest moment of fear, complex desktop seizure height. that's why the moment that goose, honest up until then we had always done everything at the monday protests to ensure

that no one let the demonstration to the styles the spies you through it. so the 2 of us went to the race and radio station. shortly before 12 we asked the editors to pass on a message to the people of today is that they should keep their radios on the job. and they wouldn't be an important announcement. in half an hour or so ago. and then we took turns at the typewriter and wrote the call for a demonstration. and it actually went out over the radio at 1235 after the new office buildings. and i, we had never thought of occupation interest of all to have just done the house. and it goes and said already painted the wall by 5 pm, and is there trying the wall ready to jump to the other side? i was very afraid of what would happen next if you get some time to shop through me and then like a miracle, the gate open from the inside in front of him we were pushed from behind. we had to go into the darkness heights, shut a goose,

honest bus. i was afraid things would get out of hand that it would turn violence that people would be lynched or that this dog would shoot. speech came down the bill of lading, sponsored with issues and nothing was search. and then we were pushed from behind a move faster and faster at the front and came into the inner courtyard and from there into the home holes. when dot done, indians are as part of course, those 5000 people couldn't all fit into the home. the students who 9 does all the food god size and paste the fund moves kind of being a longs because i'm a 137. looks 2 to schedule the theme guys walk is calm of a new shed. the but the discussion didn't go the way the major general wanted. julia staggered home or your husband forward is going to talk to somebody who is this man who was used to power was confronted with questions from ordinary citizens

. now he was being interrogated, asked his name and rank. everything went wrong for him that evening and the crowd insulted him. spit at him, kicked him. he went to his needs. i was worried that he might be knocked down and trampled to death to tom booth. is been with him, i was partly responsible for the call. i didn't want the general to die either. that's it. so i stood in front of him to protect him from fits and i walked a few feet so we could walk upright again to sort of, you know, hopefully school going to natural to. and then he plays dismissal on the table to show that was the surrender of the priest installs the administration for all to see as the tech, to see the english gets off. she's the greatest danger seemed to have passed away. but at about half past 11, a group split away and told me they were going to break up the k g

b. yeah. when he gets new, isn't good in khaki, be all have at wagner did not go to the k g b on and get like a surprise. he only learned what happened there, the next day to mazda. they rang the bell to get in. what sort of dog guard was the machine gun was standing there and out came a man in civilian clothes to do that. they assumed he was 13, which he later confirmed, specially this would have to gain any told the demonstrators that the guards had orders to fire on tress passers. i am doing the infant. i shall, smells like him home to my home. he told them to go home and they did have to go. but donald in the weeks and months that followed all rights activists took over the styles. the offices ensuring that surveillance videos, files, documents, and audio recordings were saved from destruction. it's just the

kind of the kind of 7 price thing. it is well known from friends and relatives, right. and so for state security might serious intrusions into people's private lives and very many cases. so not when each lot of mine and i believe that we should take the opportunity to put an end to us taking the ignite d as in to an end to, to provide people kept coming to the stalls, a headquarters hoping for a chance to see their files as well. yeah, i wasn't present here for 15 months and went out there on what charge attempted defection. somebody on this one was that from 69 to 71. is it how were you treated as arden correct of properly i would say, but coldly. 4 and a half months of solitary confinement without justifications. yeah. and it was very, very hard. 10 days in the whole. it's without a window without a blanket soup only every 3rd day and doesn't talk on the super duplicate. but the

point is not how it was bus and why i was there all month just because i want it to move away. you know, by monday make it seem why they got the building was open to the public for the 1st time. in 1994, establishing a museum and memorial here was an obvious step. in 1997 about snow skies addressed in memorial association was found at henry cross is its director of stuff and almost included for the and the association was found it. and it was a mix, a form of person that some people who was sent to interested in the top handle for this ministers were involved in opening this up on the bi as well. many just found just impossible to process the gd all here. all right, i'll go on, so remember what happened today as well. so you'll plus, you'll tend to create a memorial to the seo in the context of the entrance. and since then visit our numbers have increased yearly school classes toward groups and more and more from

west germany. most of all sagan is feeling most i'm regularly lean towards myself, carpets and we have always had very positive experiences, especially with young people in the same age as we, when we were in prison locked on all, it's always a pleasure on the website to share funds because you see it resume for months. now when you talk about it, it's not just about present experiences and bad things off the phone with also about how young people are you home self knowing when you 1st think about your life when you want to stand on your own 2 feet and then try and roam, it comes in the, to a set, your independent agencies and stuff. that's something that very much concerns young people today. yeah. so, so thinking about why they all the way they want to go on what they want to do with their lives. what they're supposed to do at least, was each day and was invalid investment that you may have on fund where people help us, diesel that. so, and that's interesting that he's on a building with 2

faces, one sad and cruel, the other helpful. the people working here. now recognize this more than anyone as a she, i don't think office knows these to start when i started here. there was only the status, the president's proposal is not the big building that now covers 48000 square feet, good investors and we developed it altogether and all that big. and that's the other side of the place that the key it is a really lively meeting place and the security of the people who lived through it all, feel that often, you know, as to their families, the quality, but the young people who come here the, the visitor groups and the tourist and also feel it wants to show that is a very special characteristic of this space. and also this friendly openness combined with memories of what happened to your eyes, of the survivors, the people who risked and lost their own liberties. fighting for freedom, those are the 2 faces and that makes the work very exciting side of this month. of course, sometimes it's also very sad and much going on, but above all good feedback encourages us to continue with some muscle. lytham's edwards, those feedback to come to for the people who were held here,

placed outside, changed sometimes dramatically. sometimes more suddenly the miss yale schlosser left the g d r and returned after reunification shopped us from life. i saw it from a fall and was a bit upset when the whole came. that will come in the mind, present it back, then have been from nothing. but now i'm over at once to this part. the industry will read aber hard hawes are and clouds schuman resumed their studies, and remain dressed and looks. candler became a teacher, but left for the west. in 198782 returned after reunification. this was the problem. you must experience might be more mature in a much better person. doesn't have to conform to the g. d, often which we had to ensure. and so we left and $96.00 steps. i talk to most of this. right? and so it was barbosa and misha jo,

2 has left the fear and despair of that time behind as it each have been late. and in a sense, i have forgiven them mission bread. it doesn't affect me anymore. and then i'm glad of that. otherwise i wouldn't be able to lift the way i do now ship today. but today the former study offices are apartments. those who move in here do not fear the state. they only know the ministry of state security from stories. the children play next to the barred windows of the former prison. the stars is no more than a reminder of the time when just the desire freedom could land you in prison. the

fall of thieves spark fury. spain is europe's largest olive oil producer, but its farmers are desperate. after years of drought, the stone fruit has become coveted looped. if things don't change so many farmers will be driven out of business. and there is no help inside those up. in 30 minutes on d w, we see sick animals genetically deformed animals dying animals. we witness so much

suffering there, more than you could ever imagine. bringing criminals, happy traders to heal dog trafficking market is west 1000000000 zeros most of the animals undocumented. and i'll often mistreated, sort of the activist shining lines in 90 minutes on d w. the way is mohammed sub anything. so my nephew give me a decent piece. we don't know what to screen or start off sled from northern iraq. and he became one of hundreds of my miss suzanne is every here somewhere in no man's land that lies between batteries and clear if you choose become pools in a cru, see

a political conflict with oh you she does on the run starts december 18th on dw, the, this is the, the we news line from berlin. south korea's opposite should've begins impeachment proceedings against the president, fixed parties file, a motion calling on you, and so he'll to quits immediately. the parliament building has become the setting for a candlelight vigil. and as people rally against his brief and chaotic imposition of martial law, also coming up political crisis, deepening of france as parliament for paris for a no confidence vote. a good our prime minister michelle barney is government and the battle for control of syria continues. as for sorrow, a sod forces him back against the rebel forces, the finding and drive tens of thousands to 4.
