  This work features gifts from foreign dignitaries to GDR party leaders, as well as birthday and anniversary presents given to SED politicians. Several selected objects are also used as the basis for an investigation into the rituals of Communist histrionics. This includes an examination of the way that social organizations, factories and individuals paid court to the SED and the full-blown personality cult around Erich Hoecker.
