Unique and very rare poster from the DDR. The text on the poster reads:”August 13th. 1961 For Our Security August 13th. 1981″. For celebrating the 20th. anniversary of the Berlin Wall. The poster was obtained by a Dutch Bolshevik who was actually present at the parade in East Berlin on the 13th. of August 1981. Already this poster was hard to get in East Berlin. The poster was hung in several shop windows. After asking in shops if he could have the poster, finally he was allowed to take a poster with him. There is also a smaller version of this poster (40x29cm./15.7×11.4inch.).

Topography Of Terror German poster, presumably from 1987. Books on the matter can be found but the poster is rare. Not an advertising poster for the book but the real exhibition poster In truly new condition. Between 1933 and 1945 the most important cases of National Socialist terror were on the site, which from 1987 onwards became known as the “Topography of Terror”. The Reichsführung-SS, the Security Service (SD), the Secret State Police Office (Gestapo) including prison and the Reichs Security Main Office were located in the area near Potsdamer Platz.
Today, the “Prinz Albrecht site” serves as a place of remembrance and with its permanent exhibitions it contributes to coming to terms with the terror regime. Partly destroyed in the war, rendered unrecognizable after the war’s end, by demolition and conversion and forgetting, a partially wasteland in the shadow of the Berlin Wall eventually turned into a Nazi crime documentation center that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
