In this Student Workshop, we learned about the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was a concrete barrier built by the German Democratic Republic, East Germany, that completely enclosed the city of West Berlin, separating it from East Germany, including East Berlin. The Berlin Wall was officially referred to as the “Anti-Fascist Protection Wall” by the communist East Germany authorities, implying that the western countries controlling West Berlin were fascist. The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the Wall of Shame, a term coined by Willy Brandt. The fall of the Berlin Wall paved the way for German reunification. This workshop was meant to teach us not to make the same mistakes of the past but to learn from them to help in shaping our future.
