metadata.value: In this article, I first give a detailed sketch of censorship in the GDR. I start from
  a 2019 interview with German writer and publisher Gerhard Wolf. He tries to explain
  the acceptance in the GDR of the censorship introduced by the new state in his youth.
  In doing so, I use a general definition of censorship drawn up by Christine Haug, then
  go into the early years of that censorship and then make clear the essential difference
  between censorship in the GDR and that in other communist countries in Eastern Europe
  during these years. Censorship in the GDR was supported in part by authors who
  had returned from exile, such as Arnold Zweig. I also quote Bertolt Brecht’s warning
  in his play Der aufhaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui (1941; The Resistible Rise of Arturo
  Ui) against the still vibrant National Socialist ideology in the years after 1945. Next,
  I describe the HV, the department at the Ministry of Culture that dealt with censorship
  from 1963. It was responsible not only for the libraries and the GDR’s entire literary
  production, such as sales, imports and exports, including the import of literature
  from the Soviet Union but also for the exchange of literature between the GDR and the BRD. I then discuss the content of the reading reports: the structure, the specific questions
  and the authors Finally, I describe the novel Wolfsgetij by Dutch author Theun de
  Vries and show that this edition involves two forms of censorship.
