Two years after the storming of the Leipzig headquarters of the Ministry for State Security (MfS) of the GDR by citizens on 4 December 1989, the report takes stock of the activities of the citizens' committees, describes findings about the activities of the Stasi and hints at the use of former state security objects even after the fall of communism. Thousands of documents were destroyed at the headquarters, and there are also shocking finds such as blank death sentences and liquidation orders. The exposed Stasi bunker also contains a complex facility with intelligence technology and workrooms for a large number of agents.
