This short takes a peek behind the Iron Curtain and talks about the reason why the Soviet Union built the Berlin Wall, the barrier that divided East and West Germany for nearly 3 decades. The wall was one of the most notorious dividing lines not only during the Cold War era, but in the entirety of human history.
