The movie The Lives of Others features suicide in the GDR in an impressive, but somewhat misleading way. The communist regime was not responsible for the high suicide rate. Dr Grashoff will provide a critical discussion of this politicised interpretation of suicide and highlight long-term cultural and social factors.
