    Commemoration
    The suffering of the people of Johanngeorgenstadt at that time, against the backdrop of the mining town's renewed threat of losing its identity.
    When land subsidence and uranium ore mining occurred, the GDR government, at the urging of the Soviet Union, decided in 1951 to demolish the historic town center.
