The Berlin Wall came down in 1989 after 25 years as the Cold War's pre-eminent symbol of division — the start of an era that saw the end of the U.S.S.R. and the lifting of the Iron Curtain separating Europe.

The CBC's Nahlah Ayed takes up those questions at the Berlin Wall memorial in central Berlin.
