 | | The new regime made Germany a one-party state by outlawing all oppositional parties and repressing the different-minded parts of the public with the party's own organizations SA and SS, as well as the newly founded state security police Gestapo. | | | The most infamous atrocity that Nazi Germany had initiated was the persecution and genocide of Jews and minorities such as gypsies and homosexuals as well as political prisoners throughout occupied Europe. | | | Germany prohibits home-schooling, however, this is still practised by a number of people; there has been some publicity to government prosecution of this practice. |

| | East Germany - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |
| | East Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic (GDR), German Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR), was a Communist Party-led state that existed from 1949 to 1990 in the former Soviet occupation zone of Germany. | | | It was created in 1946 through the merger of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in the Soviet controlled zone, although the SPD remained a separate party in East Berlin until 1961. | | | Before the 1970s, the official position of West Germany was that of the Hallstein Doctrine which involved non-recognition of East Germany. |

| | Eastern Germany's EU Funds in Danger of Drying Up Germany Deutsche Welle 24.05.2004 |
| | Germany's attempt to rebuild its once communist East has been an unmitigated disaster and the massive financial transfers from the West endanger the entire nation's economy, according to a government-commissioned report. | | | Statistically speaking, eastern Germany is no longer among the poorest regions in the EU, now that the bloc has expanded eastwards to include several ex-communist states with struggling economies. | | | However, unemployment in Germany's eastern states is over 20 percent, and despite an estimated €1.25 trillion ($1.5) in aid, the economic gap separating east and west hasn't been closed. |

| | But for eastern Germany, where the output per worker is only half as much, the wage situation is catastrophic. | | | And without Germany, there can be no Euro soon, wrecking the timetable on which Europe's political leaders have pinned much of their hopes for long-term economic recovery. | | | "It is a catastrophe," said Preindl, an agent for a unit of Hypo Bank of Germany, one of the developers. |

| | This decision also shows that the Eastern States are capable of competing internationally for investments, even against Eastern European locations. | | | Without a doubt, however, we still need a special policy for ‘Aufbau Ost.’ The interests of eastern Germany must be given special support within the framework of federal policy. | | | But few can doubt that reunification has caused massive dislocations to the economy of the Eastern States and it is taking more time than most thought to fix it. |

| | WHKMLA : History of Eastern Germany, 1945-1949 |
| | In Soviet Occupied Germany, political parties were founded - the Christian Democrats (CDU), Liberals (LDP), the Social Democrats (SPD) and, in a privileged position, the Communists (KPD). | | | Banks had been nationalized in 1945; in 1946 the confiscation of property of Nazi war criminals was decided; the latter, approved by plebiscite, was used to nationalize enterprises of the heavy industry. | | | In the last months of World War II, the eastern parts of Germany had seen heavy fighting and, in consequence, severe destruction. |

| | A poll of 1,500 people in eastern Germany conducted for Der Spiegel magazine last month found that 44 percent said they had no faith in any political party to solve economic problems in that part of the country. | | | The same poll found that the most popular political party in the region, by a narrow margin, was the newly formed Left Party, a coalition of former East German communists and disaffected Social Democrats who have fallen out with Schroeder over his government's plan to cut welfare programs and other benefits. | | | Public opinion polls show that Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder's coalition of Social Democrats and Greens is at serious risk of losing to the Christian Democrats, whose leader, Angela Merkel, is bidding to become Germany's first female chancellor. |

| | When German President Horst Koehler told a newsmagazine last month that it was no longer realistic to expect that the country's six eastern states would ever enjoy the same living standards as the west, people here say he was only confirming what they already know. | | | However, the precise circumstances of his death during a military coup in 1973 remain in dispute. | | | For the people of Templin, population 15,000, the past was truly another country: the German Democratic Republic, as East Germany was officially called, a communist land of universal health care, low-cost housing and -- perhaps most important -- full employment. |
