Description

The poster is a black and white photo of the Brandenburg Gate viewed over the Wall, with sign in foreground reading "Attention, you are now entering West Berlin". A colored sign superimposed in front of the Wall lists individuals by profession and how much they can be bought for. Retirees, disabled persons, and those unable to work are free (worthless). The poster refers to the East German practice of selling political prisoners to West Germany.
