Survival and Resistance (Holocaust)

On November 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall came down. For over a quarter of a century, the wall divided not only the people of Berlin, but the people of Germany and Europe. It had been the point at which democracy and communism collided. It had been the most brutal symbol of communist repression. And it had been a physical barrier over which people lost their lives in a search for freedom. Yet, on November 9, the fall of the Berlin Wall came without bloodshed. What events led to this historic moment? What part did it play in the fall of the Soviet Union? And how did the fall of the Berlin Wall bring an end to the Cold War and remove the barriers to a united Europe?
