Erwin Ross
55 years

Poster painter,
October 1982

 

 

 


»I used to work as a poster painter for the consumer co-operative in the GDR. I painted Lenin, Marx, Engels, Stalin and the slogans for the five-year plan on the walls of buildings at least a hundred times. I was awarded an activist  medal for that work. But anyway, in ’55 I decided to come over here.«
