Survey: What Does Freedom Mean to You Personally?
Freedom is one of the most important values and the Berlin Wall is still a symbol of oppression. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Berlin Wall came down on November 9, 1989, bringing an end to the communist dictatorship in East Germany. On this Inside Europe special, we learn what life was like behind the wall and hear from people who witnessed its collapse. We’ll also talk about what lessons can be drawn from the momentous events 30 years ago, and how Germany has changed since then.
