20 years ago in Berlin it happened that the cold war ended; at least this is the label we gave this event. I think it has been such a ground-shaking incident that my blog is allowed to pick up, but I refer to a more competent platform with respect to this topic, New York Times “A Division Through Time”
SNAKING ALONG, cutting through fields and streets, yards and gardens, the 28-mile-long Berlin Wall stood as a border between East and West Berlin from 1961 to 1989. That all changed on Nov. 9, 1989, when an inexact translation, a confused border guard and a natural longing for a better life opened a hole in that wall that would eventually end the Cold War.
Almost everybody knows this, there is currently a lot of buzz around this event, probably not only here in Germany but all over the Western hemisphere. In the New York times I found an article that illustrates the change during all this year in a very special way. You may like to have look at it, and perhaps take some inspiration from it.
