Berlin Wall

It was 20 years ago today that the Berlin Wall fell. One of the starkest symbols of Communism, it cut an ugly scar through Berlin, people cut down by gunfire as they tried to escape through it. After several weeks of protests in the midst of the collapsing of the Iron Curtain in 1989, the Communists gave in on November 9, letting people through.

In the Ceil sim, this Berlin Wall “Die Mauer” exhibit stands at (60, 119, 23), presumably kept up only temporarily. The exhibit was also up last year for the anniversary of it’s fall (Click Here for the 2008 article).
