East Germany reception of letters exchange between Polish and German bishops in 1965

Summary/Abstract: The text presents an attempt to depict the reception of the exchange of letters between the Polish and German episcopacy in 1965, by the GDR government. It points out the direct reactions undertaken by the party and state elites in order to decrease the importance and the international aspect of the clergy initiative. The propaganda actions included a wide range of instruments and tools available for the state government, primarily the media. It resulted in marginal interest in this topic among the GDR society and creation of the reception of the event desired by the government.
