This exhibition highlights the events of 1989/1990 that led to one of the most remarkable turning points in contemporary German, European and possibly even world history — the fall of the Berlin Wall and German reunification. It is a tribute to the power of the people and their capacity to produce change by peaceful means.
Comprising twenty individual posters, the exhibition was mounted by the Stiftung zur Aufarbeitung der SEDDiktatur, a German foundation established in 1998 to provide information about Germany’s second dictatorship and promote discussion of its impact in Germany and abroad.
It has been made available to the University by the Discipline of German Studies in cooperation with the Goethe Insitut.
From Peaceful Revolution to German Unity is on display until 31 August 2010 in the entrance foyer of the Barr Smith Library during normal Library opening hours.
