There is a very revealing article in the Guardian (natch) called 'East Germans lost much in 1989'. The 'money quote' (in GDR Marks of course) is: On 9 November 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down I realised German unification would soon follow, which it did a year later. This meant the end of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the country in which I was born, grew up, gave birth to my two children,...

I think the resounding thing I feel from the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down (as predicted by my friend, the author of Cicero's Songs , when I first knew him in 1985, by the way)is old. Some of you may know that my husband is a few years older than me. What I studied in History at school had been Modern Studies for him. I kind of feel a bit like that with things like tonight's commemoration...

Say it Brother! Tell ‘em the Truth! The people in the crowd weren’t yelling or demanding anything. They weren’t waiting for anything to happen. They were present from sheer glee at being alive in this place at this time. They were there to experience the opposite of the existential anguish which has been the twentieth century’s [...]

Back in 1983, when I was at university, I was in a musical called BERLIN, BERLIN. It traced the cultural history of Berlin through the ages. Being part of it was a great experience. To be honest, my part was so small, that I have forgotten what it was, although I do remember that I didn't have too many lines (as I can't learn them - in case you hadn't noticed!) and didn't have to sing much. The audience...

Digital media are playing an important role in today's celebration of the fall of the Berlin wall. It is interesting that much of the mainstream press have left their historical medium behind for their online coverage, as each have chosen the format which is best for a story. For example, the Guardian has put some impressive films online in which Berliners describe how the city was divided while,...

I was surprised to learn this morning from the BBC on the day we celebrate the demolition of the Berlin Wall that this represented the triumph of capitalism. Twenty years on according to their latest poll Europeans are out of love with that same capitalism. Is the BBC about to [...]

Twenty years ago today, I was leading a rocket artillery platoon in live fire exercises at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Eastern Bavaria. Some 400 kilometers to the north, the Berlin Wall was coming down. Back in my teaching days, I jokingly used this coincidence to illustrate the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. I don’t [...]

That, at least, is the claim, and here's a pic from those lovely people at Le Parisien offering apparent proof positive: It also appears on Sarko's facebook page . Sarko claims to have gone to Berlin on the 9th with Alain Juppé , whose 'memory is unclear on the exact date'. A French journo blogger thinks Sarko is telling pâtés en croûte de porc , so to speak. If he is, he'll...
