The Berlin Wall

Today marks 50 years since the Berlin Wall went up. Until it's opening in 1989, the wall separated East Germans, and West Germans. Today several sections of the wall are in the Newseum, in Washington, D.C. It is a very interesting exhibit. I saw it a couple weeks ago. Maybe I will go back some time with my camera, and take photographs to post. Here is a video from the Newseum that includes the sections of the Wall they have.

I will also use this as an excuse to plug one of my favorite films, The Lives of Others. Set behind the Wall in 1984, I did a July 10, 2010 post on this film.
