BStU Document centre and Stasi Exhibition
Description
Located close to the Topographies of Terror exhibition, this museum and documentation centre houses some of the countless records that the Stasi kept on the citizens of the old DDR. The museum explains how the system worked, and how the Stasi managed to keep a lid on the population until it all unexpectedly collapsed in November 1989. It documents how the Stasi monitored and invaded peoples lives, from simple recording what everyone was up to to some people dying at their hands.
