Evelyn Zupke

Evelyn Zupke was born 1962 in Binz.

In 1989, she played a major role in uncovering the first evidence of electoral fraud in the local elections in the GDR. Over the past 25 years, she has worked in the area of social care and trauma therapy. In 2021, the Bundestag elected Evelyn Zupke as the first Federal Parliamentary Commissioner for the Victims of the SED Dictatorship.
