Police State


The Stasi were the east German secret police. When the East German state fell there was a move to protect all the records and archives of the Stasi. Today we visited these archives, which are housed in the former Stasi HQ complex. Its pretty creepy to actually thumb through people's files and see the reports of people spying on one another.
Nothing more to tell about today. We finally get a break from organized group activities for the weekend. Next up, tea with former East German dissedants followed by opening night of "The Abduction from the Seraglio" at the German State Opera House.
