But what was it like to spend a vacation in times past? In the GDR everything was precisely regulated and organized by the state. School holidays began at the beginning of July and lasted until the end of August - a time during which the children were able to have unforgettable experiences on so-called “big holidays”. These holidays were part of a gigantic socialist educational work that had many faces! The Federal Archives states that Organizations like SED and FDJ ensured that the entire summer was a single adventure!
