On this day, November 9, 1989, a monumental event took place as the Berlin Wall was finally approved to be torn down in Germany. Built in 1961, the Berlin Wall had separated East Germany’s communist regime from democratic West Germany for nearly three decades. Its demolition marked the beginning of German reunification and a powerful symbol of the end of the Cold War. This historic moment brought hope and unity, as families and friends were able to reconnect across a once-divisive barrier.

Who remembers this iconic moment? Did you witness any broadcasts or personal stories from the fall of the Berlin Wall?
