Staying with Hanns and Ilse has allowed us to learn a lot about the history of Berlin. In particular about the World Wars and the Berlin Wall. They were fortunate to live on the west side but only just. They had friends and reletives who lived on the east.
We visited one of the only remaining sites of the wall as most of it had been demolished. 191 people died trying to escape from the east. Then in 1989 the wall came down.
