QuoteIn 1991, the German government allowed the public to open the "Stasi files" that the East German secret police had kept on them. It's estimated that less than half of those who thought they had files applied to see them. The majority didn't want to know. One of the biggest reasons given for not finding out was that people were worried that their present-day relationships would be damaged if they learned that others close to them were informants.
