Perhaps because it was one of the iconic television moments of my childhood (I was into the news even as an 11 year-old), but I have become very interested in finding videos from the Fall of Berlin Wall twenty years ago. Here are three videos of ABC News reports from November 9th and 10th (I remember watching these because at the time one of my uncles was a producer for ABC News).
November 9th, 1989 – The Berlin Wall Falls
November 9th, 1989 – Beyond the Brandenburg Gate
November 10th, 1989 – Celebration at the Berlin Wall
Applications for Education
None of our K-12 students today remember anything of the Cold War or a divided Germany. These videos could be useful for showing students how relieved some people felt when the Berlin Wall came down.
