The release of the Stasi files in 1992 prompted a significant reckoning among former East Germans, as they began to confront the surveillance and control exerted by the Ministry for State Security. This pivotal moment revealed personal histories intertwined with state secrets, leading to reflections on trust, betrayal, and the impact of a regime that monitored its citizens.
