The Wall of Berlin

The Berlin Wall went up on August 13, 1961 - a symbol for a divided city and a divided Germany, and the Cold War. It finally fell 28 years later, on November 9, 1989, when the whole world watched in wonder and erupted in celebration along with all Berliners as they met once again without armed guards and barbed wire artificially keeping them apart.

  3. Very nice picture. I remember exactly the 9th November 20 years ago. I don't know what was the situation in Eastern Europe but we were watching TV and couldn't believe what's happening. The atmosphere in Berlin was amazing. Young people lost fear from the totalitarian regime and expressed their feelings like hope and joy from freedom. It was unforgettable.

    Best regards,
