Tonight we celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall, November 9, 1989 - an event I had never imagined would take place. As I grew up in the 60s, it was images like the above that we received from the old German capital: “Close view of Berlin wall bearing the shadowy silhouettes of seven West Berliners waving to their relatives on the other unseen side of the wall in the eastern sector. West Berlin, Germany, December 1962” - Photographer: Paul Schutzer, LIFE Click for high-res photo
