englischThe book offers insights into the motives of perpetrators and victims of political repression in the SED regime. Biographical interviews from the archives of the Hohenschönhausen Memorial are used to analyse these motives using the method of analytical hermeneutics. The narrative analysis of these interviews remains a desideratum. The philosophical definition of central concepts such as motives and conscience as well as the history of ideas of the communist concept of order and morality form the basis of the empirical investigation. The analysis of the interviews documents the peculiar relationship between communist dictatorship and individual conscience.
