3 Images Say More Than Words Ever Could Rebecca Forrest & Robert Vay

he image on the cover of this issue is of 19-year-old Hans Conrad Schumann, a soldier in the East Ger- Tman Bereitschaftspolizei, and the barbed wire fence that was guarded as the first phase of the Berlin Wall. Con- rad was guarding the uncompleted Wall on the third day of construction, August 15, 1961. While on guard duty, Conrad was beckoned by people on the west side of Berlin shouting “Komm rüber!” Their cries to “come over” persuaded him to jump over the barbed wire fence. He was quickly driven away by a West Berlin police car that had been nearby. For more than 28 years, until November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall stood as an ugly symbol of human isolation and cruelty, as about 100 persons were killed by East German security forces while trying to cross the Wall into West Berlin. The photo of Con- rad’s defection was a symbol of resistance against the East German government and the Berlin Wall. To see more photos please visit SC&A on-line at http://sca.gmu.edu/ and click on the Facebook icon at the bottom or call 703-993-2220 to make an appointment to see some of the collection in person.

The Berlin Wall did not just divide a country, it also divided families. A child, separated from his parents when the first phase of the Wall construction was carried out in the early morning hours of August 13, 1961, is helped over the barbed wire by a soldier. The soldier’s hesitant look is understandable as orders were to let no one in and no one out. History did not record this soldier’s name or his fate.

Berlin began tearing it down on November 9, 1989. 4 When is Opening Night? By Rebecca Forrest & Melissa McAfee

id you know that theater posters in East Germany did not list the dates that performances would run? D The reason was that there was no guarantee that the play, opera, or other performance would be approved by government censors in time for opening night. To work around this bureaucratic red tape, theaters simply left the dates off the posters and pushed opening night back or, when necessary, can- celed performances altogether. This is just one insight that archivists in the George Mason University Libraries Special Collections and Archives (SC&A) have learned from the new collection of rare East German posters. The collection includes approximately 7,300 art, dance, film, theater, and political posters dating from 1950 to 1989 from cultural, social, and political organizations in the former Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR). Through the integration of images and words, these post- ers reveal the censored and hidden worlds of the East German playwright, film director, artist, and subversive politician. In addition, the collection is a major resource for the study of the works of four major East German graphic artists: Bolker Ph ller, Manfred Butzman, Wolfgang Janisch, and Hubert Riedel. Poster for the filmDie Entscheidung des Dr. Ahrendt (Dr. Ahrendt s Deci- sion,1960). The film is about a struggling factory owned by Dr. Ahrendt In conveying popular cultural and political messages under the and the solidarity of the workers who are united in the goal of making the DDR, the posters broaden the relatively narrow vantage point of factory a success. official politics. They lend a more complete and nuanced picture of the historical moment because they speak to the popular experi- ences of those who lived through it and attempted to resist it through art and cultural production. Comparable collections of this size and depth are unique and not widely available in North American research libraries. The uniqueness of this collection was recently recognized by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) when it awarded SC&A a $76,800 grant that will support research into this collection. We look forward to showing you some of this collection. Appointments are requested and can be made by calling 703-993-

Upon Kurt s passing, his mother established the Kurt Andrew Dodd Endowed Scholarship in History to honor his memory and recognize his passion for American history and higher education. This graduate scholarship benefits full-time graduate students pursuing a degree in history. Rosemary felt that she could do more to remember Kurt and in 2009 established the Kurt Andrew Dodd American His- tory Endowment for the Libraries. In doing so, she broadened the legacy of her son and his impact on the students and faculty of Mason. The endowment will enable the University Libraries to t can be difficult to get children to sit still.
