The Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall stood between East and West Berlin from its construction in 1961 until its fall in 1989. It divided families and friends and became a prominent symbol of the Cold War. It was torn down on November 9, 1989 by the citizens of Berlin. Only a few portions of the wall remain intact today and we can still see historical graffitis painted on them which reflect Germany's long separation as well as its reunification.
