Berlin Wall Memorial: A Glimpse Of History
Berlin Wall History
The Berlin Wall stood until November 9, 1989, when the East German Communist Party’s head announced that the citizens of the German Democratic Republic could cross the border when they wanted. The crowd was so ecstatic that some crossed freely while others brought picks and hammers to bring the wall down. Even to this day, the Berlin Wall is among the enduring symbols of the Cold War.
While the Berlin Wall was brought down by the people, the local artists of the time began painting the wall and making symbols that reflected freedom from oppression.
