Next week marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a seminal moment in history not just for Germans, but for the rest of the world. We'll examine the history of the wall, erected in 1961 and viewed as a physical embodiment of the Iron Curtain. What led to its dismantling? And a quarter century later, what has been the political, economic and humanitarian impact?
Guests:
Mark Cassell, Professor of Political Science at Kent State University
Kenneth F. Ledford, Associate Professor of History and Law at Case Western Reserve University
Gitta Kalupsky, Berlin resident
Anja & Eckhardt Jankowsky, former Dresden, GDR residents
