Berlin Wall destruction  

Définition

  • The Berlin Wall, erected in August 1961 to stop the hemorrhage of Germans seeking to leave East Germany (the German Democratic Republic, or GDR), achieved symbolic proportions that almost outstripped its physical function. For 28 years, it served as the concrete realization of the metaphorical Iron Curtain dividing Eastern and Western Europe.
