GDR Review #3 1960 East German Democratic Republic Communist Propaganda Magazine:
$27.95

GDR Review, Number 3, 1960 (5th Year of Publication), published by Society for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries, Berlin, German Democratic Republic.
This softcover magazine has 51 pages of articles, mostly demonstrating the Communist Party\'s superiority over West Germany, such as:
  • What Price a Baby? (answer, according to them: it costs a lot less in the GDR, no surprise!)
  • Children, Radios and Working Women
  • The German Academy of Arts
  • The \"Bloc\" Policy -- A Policy of United Strength
  • Worker Writers at School
  • No. 13 Unter den Linden
  • Old Jancowa and the Theatre
  • the latest in GDR fashion (you don\'t want to miss that one)
  • and more!
Lots of photos throughout. At the very back is the \"Science and Technology\" section (8 pages long), with articles on the reduced mortality rate of tuberculosis, a look at the work of Professor Gerhardt Katsch, Sonneberg Observatory, and GDR Society diving clubs (!)
All of this, just months before the erection of the Berlin Wall, to prevent Germans from leaving their socialist paradise.
Text is in English (only).
I have to pause and ask what was the purpose of this magazine? Was it intended for English-speaking West Germans (there\'s a section on some of the latter who emigrated to the GDR to escape conscription)? Or was it for people in the English-speaking world?
Good condition. A previous owner has cut out a questionnaire in the very back, and they\'ve inked numbers next to some of the question topics (see the final pic). Otherwise unmarked, complete and securely bound. Mild wear: a small corner bend on the front cover.
Free shipping in the USA.
Thanks for looking!Loc: communisn/socialism history, 2nd floor.
