History alive

This 2014 is a historic year for Berlin. Today marks the 25th anniversary of the most significant event in recent German history: the Fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989.The Berlin Wall was both the physical division between West Berlin and East Germany from 1961 to 1989 and the symbolic boundary between democracy and Communism during the Cold War.It was erected in the dead of night and for 28 years kept East Germans from fleeing to the West. Its destruction, which was nearly as instantaneous as its creation, was celebrated around the world. Have we learnt any lessons? Maybe not, despite we should learn from them and history.
