Closing gate at Stasi prison - Gate at Stasi prison

The sound of the closing gate at Ministry for State Security (Stasi) prison Hohen Schoenhausen, Berlin. Prisoners were transported in a van disguised as a food transporter. The van drove into a hall. The prisoners would not be taken out of the van until the gate was closed, to avoid the opportunity for them to make any observation that would give them an idea ybout the location. Today former prisoners give guided tours in the prison. http://en.stiftung-hsh.de/
