The Rise & Fallof the Berlin Wall: 25th Anniversary Lecture

At NSSC, Northfield Location: 

Anette Isaacs, M.A., Historian

It has been 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, that insurmountable icon of the Cold War. With its construction beginning on August 13th 1961, the course of Germany's and especially Berlin's history took a tragic turn. It would take 28 years, until November 9th 1989, for the wall to 'fall' and the people to begin the tearing down of this cruel and inhuman symbol of Germany's division, thus giving birth to yet another period in this European nation's evolution. Join German historian Anette Isaacs as she presents a historical and political overview of this very painful but also almost miraculous period in Berlin's captivating history.
