World: Germans celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall’s breakdown

  • Today will be loaded with celebration for Germans celebrating the 20th anniversary of the end of the Berlin Wall – that product of communism that divided the country in two. Among things to keep an eye on in this Flickr feed (which promises to get more interesting later today): A row of handkerchiefs creating a symbolic wall. “Handkerchiefs are a symbol of the many tears, the farewells, the joy, the dance, the exchange between East and West,” explains organiser Bernd Klippel.source
