The picture above was taken on November 10, 1989 when the Germans from the East and the West are standing on the Berlin Wall in front of the Brandenburg Gate, one day after the wall opened.
It is the 20th Anniversary for the fall of the Berlin Wall. Reading some comments from the Toronto Star, I couldn't believe the effect it has on this country! It is so powerful that this wall kept the east and west sides separate. November 9th, 1989, the wall came down and it changed peoples lives and the country forever!
The Festival of Freedom is to happen November 9th, 2009 near the Brandenburg Gate, in Berlin. There are suppose to be a variety of famous people to arrive and U2 has already performed on November 5th, 2009, singing One Day! This is a day where there is to be a high level of political leaders coming from all over.
More than 100,000 vistors are expected to attend. I can't wait to read more and see the effect it still has 20 years later!
