Political satire in the GDR was not always a laughing matter. Over 100 drawings and sculptures are on display at the Museum of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany, many of them being seen in the original for the first time. Historical objects - photos, documents and films - provide an overview of and an entertaining angle on the history of the former East Germany.
