From the Paper:

"On November 9, 1989 the Berlin Wall collapsed. This marked the disappearance of the Iron Curtain, and more importantly, signified the end of the Cold War. For years, East and West Berlin had been divided. This division separated families, caused thousands of escape attempts, and was to many, symbolic of Winston Churchill's famous Iron Curtain Speech. It is only now, over a decade after the wall was opened, that one can appreciate the suffering, struggles, devastation, and victories that surrounded this twelve-foot high monument of the unwillingness to succumb to communism."
