Description
The majority of the poster is a black and white photo of two Germans throwing rocks at Soviet tanks. The text below is adapted from various responses to the 1953 uprising. The first three selections praise the German people for their courage and spirit. The fourth is a statement by the Justice Minister some two weeks after, assuring DDR citizens that no one will be punished for protesting or striking, but only those who committed serious crimes.
