Event map
How did the Stasi store, analyse and use the information it gathered about individuals? "Access to Secrecy" is the first exhibition to present the foundations and content of the GDR secret police archive.
About
An oversized „walk-in file“, an original index card paternoster, a sculpture of files – the exhibition shows the collection of information violating human rights and the effect the GDR secret police had on people’s lives.Over four floors the exhibition illustrates the Stasi Records Archive‘s current tasks and leads back in time to when the Secret Police created the files.
