Jürgen Brand Book order

The Stasi operated with impunity, eliminating regime opponents while the SED boasted about their actions. Volker was unaware that his mother was a Stasi spy, reporting irrelevant information due to her lack of a specific plan.

In September 1975, I applied to leave East Germany but was imprisoned after Stasi informers reported my plans. I endured harsh conditions, including solitary confinement and forced labor, while resisting prison rules. Despite threats and insults from Stasi officers, my desire for freedom remained unyielding amidst the state's inhumane laws.
