23 years ago on the 9th November 1989 was the day of the Fall of the Wall! A day to celebrate and to remember that the country was once divided, and with it the the suffering of people. Now we can share happiness of freedom.
Recently I visited the Wall Panorama (see my previous post about The Wall Panorama)

and it reminded me of the time as a child how the wall around us had become something normal and how odd it felt to visit relatives in East Berlin. How weird is was to be checked at the border.
How great and happy it felt that the wall was teared down and people could move freely and not fear anymore the constraints and punishment of the regime.
This is just a short post, just to tell you about this day and share a very few memories.
