All'Aja sfilata in Trabant

(Epa/Ed Oudenaarden)

The 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall is celebrated with a parade of East German made Trabant cars near the German embassy in The Hague, The Netherlands, 09 November 2009. International leaders were congregating in Berlin on 09 November 2009, 20 years to the day after the fall of the Berlin Wall augured the end of Europe’s East-West divide. On 09 November 1989, travel restrictions for East German citizens
were unexpectedly lifted, prompting a rush of thousands of Berliners to the barrier, where they were allowed to cross.
