The opening of the exhibit will be celebrated with a reception following the panel discussion on Divided Nations: Past, Present, and Future on November 3, 2015.
The year 2015 marks the 25th anniversary of German reunification. This exhibition traces the way to German unity from the beginning of the division after World War II, to the peaceful revolution in the autumn of 1989, to reunification on October 3, 1990.
More than 150 photographs and facsimiles and accompanying texts relate how the peaceful revolution in the GDR did what no one had dared hope for and brought German reunification onto the agenda of German and international politics. The exhibition examines both the developments within Germany and the diplomatic negotiations that made reunification on 3 October 1990 possible. The exhibition includes QR codes giving access to 18 video podcasts of people sharing their own memories (in German) of the eventful developments in 1990.
The exhibition was prepared by Federal Foundation for the Study of the Communist Dictatorship in Germany in cooperation with the Federal Foreign Office. It has been brought to campus by the Consulate General of Germany in Chicago.
