This project analyses the connection between politics, collective and individual memory by exploring acollection of life story interviews with former border soldiers of the GDR. In light of onging debates aboutthe shortcomings of the unification process and the disregard of East German experiences, it will bringthe voices of men which have no recognition in debates about the commemoration of the GDR to thefore. The project will explore how they perceived their military service and how their interpretationschanged with the judicial scrutiny and political and media debates about the "coming to terms" in unifiedGermany.

本项目通过对前德意志民主共和国边防士兵的生活故事采访，分析了政治、集体和个人记忆之间的联系。鉴于关于统一过程的缺点和对东德经验的忽视的持续争论，它将使那些在纪念德意志民主共和国的辩论中没有得到认可的人的声音得到重视。该项目将探讨他们如何看待自己的兵役，以及他们的解释如何随着司法审查、政治和媒体辩论在统一的德国“达成协议”而改变。
