Which of these facts are true? 
It divided the city of Berlin, separating families and friends for twenty-eight years
Thousands of East Berliners tried to cross into West Berlin, two people escaped by zip line
All around the world, people celebrated when the wall finally began to come down in 1989
All of the above!
 
The Berlin Wall finally came down in 1989. Now readers can find out why it was built in the first place; and what it meant for Berliners living on either side of it. Here’s the fascinating story of a city divided.


In 1961, overnight a concrete border went up, dividing the city of Berlin into two parts - East and West. . The story of the Berlin Wall holds up a mirror to post-WWII politics and the Cold War Era when the United States and the USSR were enemies, always on the verge of war. The wall meant that no one from Communist East Berlin could travel to West Berlin, a free, democratic area. Of course that didn't stop thousands from trying to breech the wall - more than one hundred of them dying in the attempt. (One East Berliner actually ziplined to freedom!) Author Nico Medina explains the spy-vs-spy politics of the time as well as what has happened since the removal of one of the most divisive landmarks in modern history.


1961年,一夜之間,一道水泥牆圍成的邊界矗立了,將柏林市分為東西兩半。柏林圍牆的故事為二次戰後的政治和冷戰時代提供借鏡,當時美國和蘇聯互為敵國,戰事一觸即發。圍牆意味著:來自共產主義的東柏林民眾不能前往自由民主的西柏林。當然,它無法阻止成千上萬的人試圖越牆籬去--至少一百多人死於這種嘗試。(有一位東柏林人還真的利用高空滑索企圖飛越!)作者尼科·梅迪納在本書詳述了當時諜對諜的政治對抗,以及自拆除歷史上最分裂的地標之一以來所發生的一切。
