16 June 2023, Berlin: German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier speaks at a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the popular uprising in the GDR in the German Bundestag. On June 17, 1953, up to one million people had protested in East Berlin and 700 other places in the GDR. They demonstrated against higher labor standards, but also against the Socialist Unity Party SED, for free elections and more prosperity. Soviet troops stationed in the GDR and the People's Police cracked down on the protests, sometimes with tanks. At least 55 people were killed and more than 10,000 arrested. Photo: Bern
