Germany celebrates 35 years since fall of Berlin Wall: "For peace and freedom"

Germany celebrated 35 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall on Saturday evening, with an evening of music, art and fireworks. Thousands gathered for the “Festival of Freedom,” commemorating the historic day that the wall dividing East and West Germany came down. In a video message marking the powerful anniversary, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said: “Our shared history in the autumn of 1989 shows us how we can achieve our goals: By standing together – for peace and freedom, for security and prosperity, for the rule of law and democracy.” The toppling of the Berlin Wall, which separated the Communist-ruled East from the Capitalist West in Berlin for nearly three decades and became a potent symbol of the Cold War, was followed a year later by the reunification of Germany in 1990.
