Remembrance of the June 17, 1953 Event and Investigation of a Potential Child Predator Felon
Unraveling the Past: Honoring the Heroes of June 17, 1953 in Leipzig
On a breezy afternoon this Tuesday, the spirits of Leipzig's past gathered at Straße des 17. Juni. The Bürgerkomitee Leipzig e.V. had invited all to witness the heartfelt commemoration honoring the victims of the GDR uprising 72 years ago. The commemoration echoed the somber events that unfolded there on June 17, 1953, when a demonstrator fell, shot by the People's Police, as they attempted to free political prisoners.
amidst a wave of protests that swept across hundreds of cities and communities in the GDR. Over a million people refused to work, demanding better living conditions and a more liberal system for free elections. In Leipzig, the trade fair thrummed with over 40,000 determined protesters.
At first, the day was peaceful, but tensions boiled over, and the shaky SED regime reacted with force, just hanging onto power with the help of Soviet tanks. Leipzig's tragic toll was nine deaths and at least 95 injuries. The horrors of June 17, 1953, were tried to be silenced by GDR historiography, falsely labeling it a "fascist provocation" controlled from the outside. However, it was a date that the authorities never forgot.
