“Those who do not trust us, will be held to account” - Tribute to Juergen Fuchs - poet and public enemy of the GDR dictatorship

Written by admin


Dictatorships fear nothing more than the frank and sober description of their brutal and inhuman mechanisms. The poet Jurgen Fuchs was a chronicler INFLEXIBLE injustice of the GDR and therefore fell into the sights of the East German State Security. The Berlin Tagesspiegel reminded now works and lives of the persecuted poet. Since he was 20-years in a conversation on Hermann Hesse and Friedrich Nietzsche, and spied on because of his preoccupation with "bourgeois ideology" had been betrayed, dealt the Stasi apparatus with increasing intensity and steadily increasing brutality with his person. Very early in its unmasked Fuchs works with laconic and accurate records the omnipresent, allbedrohlichen and antiindividualistischen character of the class dictatorship: "Those who

do not trust us, it is accountable. To us, there are always meant much more than just the present.  To us, there are always full powers meant political parties, governments, corporations with many arms and legs, the far-reaching and very deep can occur. " The SED concluded the rebellious author, despite the admonitions of his depth coming from a working class family can not dissuade him, critical and reflective about the worker and peasant state to write, from the party. Shortly before his successful studies in psychology Fuchs was also from the university. 1976, the year of the Biermann expulsion-Fuchs was finally arrested and in prison Hohenschönhausen with incommunicado detention and inhumane interrogation techniques torture. Persecution and "decomposition" in West Berlin After nine months' imprisonment, he is from the west freigekauft. The poet is in Berlin-Tempelhof established and maintains contact with friends and Gleichdenkenden in West and East. But his prosecution is in the free West Berlin was by no means finished, but the Stasi intensified their efforts, the enemy of the state to "disintegrate". Overall, 40 "IM" in the eighties applied to him, the prosecution completed its protocols as much as 25 volumes of files, such as after the turn out. The bulk of the document was still by the Stasi destroyed after the fall, they seem to contain information highly precarious. One thing however is certain: The long arm of the party ranged widely in the West, as the case forcefully demonstrates fox. The post positions and harassment, which would help Fox in West Berlin intelligence confronted culminate in a bomb attack in front of his house. Even in front of open murder in the West stopped the East German regime, not back. Ten years ago, died Juergen Fuchs - only 48 - year - a rare blood cancer disease. The suspicion lies near that the Stasi their hands dirty in the game had. His main works: "interrogation protocols" After his arrival in the West published the Jürgen Fuchs Band "interrogation protocols," a description from my own opinion, what human atrocity in the prisons of the GDR working class have been perpetrated. The Chronicle recalls his masterwork "The Gulag Archipelago" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a chronicle of political persecution in Soviet Russia.
