Ich liebe diese Episoden, sie erinnern mich irgendwie an mein eigenes Land, denn bis jetzt ist es noch getrennt

best episode IMO. Very emotional. One can only remotely grasp the feeling of the wall's fall for Germans, but here is some great insight. Even the Korean girl's appearance at the end was a very worthy bonus track.

Die Episode um die Mauer is die Beste!! Cari hats sehr gut gemacht.

Die letzte 10 Sekunden sind die BESTEN!

By far the most important, and for me the most enjoyable episode.

I was last in Berlin in 1988. I crossed into East Berlin through Checkpoint Charlie and spent the evening in a pub in East Berlin. I still have not seen Berlin without the wall. I hope to go back there this summer with my daughter.

Mir sind auch die Tränen gekommen als ich den Mauerfall in Dokus erlebte.. Obwohl ich damals noch nicht geboren war. Einer meiner Lieblingsmoment in moderner Geschichte ♥♥

[criskubli]

This is just fantastic. Well done. Thank you.

That was an amazing episode! Super toll! It's marvellous to see how the german people got reunited after such a long period of separation... I hope I can get to know the remaining parts of the Berlin Wall as soon as I visit Germany :) Danke schön!

Such an amazing video! You know, Robert Kennedy, brother of John F Kennedy who was so admired by Berliners, once said

"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

When I think about what happened on that night and in subsequent weeks it's clear that this was such a time in German history. After so many years separated a nation, a people became whole again.

Mein Geschichtslehrer ist der Präsident des Vereins Berliner Geschichtslehrer und erzählte uns, dass einmal südkoreanische Geschichtslehrer zu Besuch in Berlin waren und nach einem guten Rezept für eine Wiedervereinigung fragten. Diese Gruppe besuchte einige Städte in Deutschland aber auch Warschau, um die Polen zu fragen, wie sie die deutsche Wiedervereinigung aufgenommen haben.

My history teacher is the president of the club of Berlin history teachers and he told us that once, South Korean history teachers visited Berlin and asked for a recipe for a good reunification. This group visited some cities in Germany but also Warsaw to ask the Polish how they felt about the reunification of Germany.

What an emotional content, loved it!! I watched it after watching your newest video on East West differences! Perhaps you could do this again on November 9th this year or something similar! I am from Romania, I remember how i was 4 years old and my mother broke into tears as they knocked down the communist regime at the Revolution in '89, we ran onto the balcony and there were people all over the streets yelling and celebrating!

Makes me cry tears of joy this video - I went to the DDR from the west in video
