Rally at Berlin Wall |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| On November 9, 1989, the former East German government lifted travel and emigration restrictions to the West. Within hours, thousands of Germans from both the East and West flocked to the wall that had stood as a barrier between them for 28 years. The wall, erected by the East German government in 1961, was eventually dismantled by the citizens of both countries. | ||||||
