The Berlin Wall
Book • 1964
The Berlin Wall was a barrier that divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989, constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR) to prevent emigration and defection to West Berlin.
It became a symbol of the Cold War, separating East and West Germany and representing ideological division.
The wall was heavily guarded, and many people died attempting to cross it.
Its fall in 1989 marked a pivotal moment in history, leading to the reunification of Germany and the end of the Cold War. The Berlin Wall was more than just a physical barrier; it was a representation of political oppression and the desire for freedom.
Its legacy continues to influence discussions about division, unity, and human rights.
