1989: Berlin Wall falls
On Nov. 9, 1989, after 28 years, East
Berlin’s Communist Party announced that the citizens of East Germany could
cross the border wall. Residents descended that evening, chanting "Open the gate!” In this photo taken by Gerard Malie, West
Berliners watch as East German border guards take down a section of the wall on
Nov. 11.
