The Last "Monday Demonstration" in Leipzig (March 12, 1990)
A participant in the "Monday demonstration" in Leipzig on March 12, 1990 (the last Monday demonstration for the duration) holds a sign that reads: “Even after the last demonstration – We are the people – We are one people.” Six days before the first free elections to the East German Volkskammer, the desire for reunification with the Federal Republic of Germany was still running strong among East Germans.
