The Ministry for State Security or State Security Service, commonly known as the Stasi was the official state security service of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany. It has been described as one of the most effective and repressive intelligence and secret police agencies ever to have existed. The Stasi was headquartered in East Berlin. The Stasi motto was Schild und Schwert der Partei (Shield and Sword of the Party), referring to the ruling Socialist Unity Party of Germany and also echoing a theme of the KGB, the Soviet counterpart and close partner, with respect to its own ruling party, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Erich Mielke was the Stasi's longest-serving chief, in power for thirty-two of the GDR's forty years of existence. The editor facilitated a seminar on the history of the Stasi at the University of Munster in 2012/13. The fifty participants at that seminar taught him that the history of the Stasi is an important tool that helps Westerners not only to understand the world of the former communist East but also to perceive current threats in the Western world. The Stasi combated open society and liberal democracy--yet a small and idealistic opposition group was able to overcome this large organization and its criminal activities. The article authors include: Robert Gerald Livingston, Gary Bruse, Jens Gieseke, Konrad Jarausch, Jefferson Adams, Douglas Selvage,George Herbstritt, Benjamin Fisher, and Paul Maddrell.
