The Wall, erected in the dead of night, divided Berlin for 28 years. An announcement to the East German people declared travel through the border to the West open this day in 1989.
People rushed to see if it was true. The border guards, with no instructions as to what to do, let them through.
Commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall, November 9th, 1989.
