The Fall of the Berlin Wall

The Fall of the Berlin Wall - Moscow House of Photography. "...At the end of the 20th century, the map of the world was drastically altered: a number of states disappeared, some new countries emerged; and all these happened without any wars and bloodshed. One of the first evident milestones of this process was the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. It was actually the fall of the concrete Iron Curtain that had divided the world into the 'friends' and the 'enemies' for more than a quarter of a century. The Exhibition 'The Fall of the Berlin Wall' is dedicated to the twentieth anniversary of this event and presents the most interesting documentary evidence collected from various sources. The Berlin Wall is more than a tragedy of a city or a symbol of the post-war division of the world; it also implies many broken human lives, separated families, many people who were killed trying to cross the Wall into West Berlin. The Exhibition recreates the main stages in the history of the Berlin Wall."
