The Berlin Wall Project
|
The Berlin Wall physically
separated the city of Berlin, Germany into two sections, known after 1961 as
East Berlin and West Berlin. Either section of the city became isolated
from the other, the effect intended by the Soviet Union, who had ordered the
wall built, in order to prevent the massive refugee flows from East Berlin
to the freedom of the West. This site will provide some insight into the
Berlin Wall, and will help to raise some of the deeply-seeded issues hidden
beneath the physical barrier produced by the wall.
