The Berlin Wall

Today in CWI we watched a documentary about the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was made to separate West and East Berlin since people from East Berlin which was controlled by the Soviet Union were escaping to West Berlin and then escaping to Germany because they wanted their freedom. And in order to keep East Berliners in, the Soviets issued the wall to be build. Even while the wall was being built and the wall was built, people kept on trying to escape to West Berlin, but many died trying. There were struggles with going to West Berlin too like in the video when the woman was trying to get to West Berlin through the window while communism guards tried pulling her back into the window and everyone else was trying to pull her to freedom.
