Newseum - Berlin Wall Exhibit
Transcript of Newseum - Berlin Wall Exhibit
East German government believed their labor force
would have been depleted. However East Germany used propaganda with its citizens and around the world, saying that the wall was put in place to prevent military aggression and political interference from West Germany. For the years in which the wall stood, it symbolized the ongoing post-Cold War tensions between the USSR and its allies such as East Germany, and the United States, West Germany, and their allies. The wall is twelve feet high and miles long, of which miles separated the city of Berlin.
There were only two openings or crossing points, one known as Checkpoint Charlie, which were heavily guarded by East Germany. The Berlin Wall was torn
down in 1989 as the Wall became
irrelevant when Hungary allowed
East Germans to pass through
Hungary on their way to
Austria and West Germany. With East Germany collapsing, on November 9 1989 many passionate people living on both sides of the wall began to demolish whole sections of the wall, and East German police did not interfere. With the removal of the Wall, East and West Germany were reunited as one nation, the Federal Republic of Germany. The Berlin Wall is only visible in a few remaining sections and by the information and collections in a number of museums including the Newseum.
