On 9 November 1989, after Schabowski's announcement allowing border crossings, ecstatic East Berliners rush to check points and start tearing down the Wall.

This is Berlin, where an ugly wall separated German from German for nearly 30 years.
We all asked when this symbol of a divided Europe would disappear. When the peoples of the East might see the West without having to use binoculars.

Now the wall has been breached and the peoples enclosed behind it have finally won some of the freedoms they had sought for so long, not least the freedom to be reunited with their loved ones. The finally gained a crucial right: freedom of movement. The right to travel beyond the prison wall that has held them in for three decades. Now they can go to the other side, go to the West and see for themselves.
