doc&talk – Goldrausch
20. September @ 19:30 - 22:00
The September doc&talk docfilm42 presents GOLDRAUSCH – The History of the Treuhand on 20.09.
Even 35 years after reunification, the consequences of the liquidation of East German companies can still be felt and the process of coming to terms with the sell-out has not yet been completed.
In the early summer of 1990, the Treuhandanstalt was founded to privatize the state-owned enterprises of the GDR. In the following four years, around 4,000 of these companies were closed and around two and a half million jobs were lost. The Treuhand incurred debts of 256 billion marks and was defrauded of billions of marks. This scandal remained largely unresolved.
