Twenty-five years ago today, the main symbol of the Cold War and Communism came to an end. On the evening of November 9, 1989, the demolition of the Berlin Wall began and citizens of East and West Berlin were able to travel across the border. With festivities happening this weekend to commemorate the event, Radio Svoboda interviews several influential voices from the time and talks about the history leading up to the decision to open the border.
