Book of Karl Liebknecht Brigade of Werkzeugfabrik (toolfactory) in Radebeul, belonging to VEB Werkzeugkombinat Schmalkalden. Starts 06-01-1971, ends 09-25-1972. It composes general records about life in the brigade, ranging from sick notes, congratulations and cultural program to brigade resolutions and solidarity declarations on the Angela Davis process in San Jose. Contained are various private photographs and postcards, mainly from vacations in socialist countries - although one shows St.Pauli, Hamburg and is therefore evidence of a west-journey. Pictures show the Brigade parading on Mayday 1972. Several Newspaper clippings portray stages of the 1972 process on Angela Davis, Fidel Castro visiting Dresden in the same year. The crashes of both Sojus 11 and Interflug Il-62 at Königswusterhausen are commented. A protestnote and a further newspaper extract on the US Bombing of Hanoi, Vietnam in 1971 are given. One clipping about a family reunion of a lost warchild (Wolfskind) is featured in full length.
