Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin wall and the change of the political administrations in the now former socialist countries, young people can learn about the values of the socialist culture and way of life from rather scant resources. The people who “lived” the regime do not want to write about the period and the young people, who are born after the change and who are not burdened with memories and subjective attitude towards the period/regime are just too young to research, gather data and write on the topic. The monuments of socialism are a source of information for the period before 1989; the attitude of the current government, parents and coevals towards the monuments is another source for information that plays a great part in the forming of the young people’s opinion and attitude towards the monuments.
