# "Die Jugend kämpft für den Frieden!": founding ceremony of the Berlin FDJ, Friedrichstadtpalast

A choir and guitarists stand on a stage under a wide banner reading 'Die Jugend kämpft für den Frieden!' with an 'FDJ' emblem board below it. 'Peace' is claimed as the group's own cause in a phrase that names no policy and no opponent.
