Everyday life under communism

First floor. How life was actually lived in the industrialized city. Job assignment, the daily commute, the woman who worked both in the factory and at home, the apartment block — and the scarcity of the 1980s: queues for bread, oil and sugar, rationing by card, the black market, cold homes. In the background, the nearness of the border, which made life here different.
