Public summary
Contribution to the Jewish Museum Berlin’s exhibition catalogue. The piece treats the GRD’s (Eastern Germany) foiled road plans to build a 6-lane expressway across the Jewish Cemetery Weißensee in the 1980s, arguing that the citizens’ protests against the scheme formed a testing ground for the GDR civil rights movement that helped to bring down the Berlin Wall in 1989.| Impact date | 2023 |
