The Fall of the Wall

I was just at that age (barely 15) where I was aware enough to know it was important but to not actually care much. It didn't help that my German 1/2 teacher didn't talk about much else. We were bored more than fascinated by his stories of his family escaping to West Berlin shortly before the wall went up.

For some reason that fall of the Soviet Union the next year had a much bigger impact even though it was a less coherent singular event.
