When the Wall came down


The title of my book is "When The Wall Came Down". The author of this book is Serge Schemann. This book gives information about different parts of the German history, it gives a little over all view about World War one and two. Berlin was separated into four pieces after Germany lost the second world war. Then it finally was separated into two parts the east controlled by the Soviet Union and the rest  by Germany. Even though Germany had just lost a war they quickly picked them self up and became the country with the third best economy in the world. So off cores people moved to that part of the city as it had better opportunities for living. But as time past the Soviet Union understood they had to do something about it so they put up barbed wire and soldiers to take care that no one crosses but people found lots of creative ways in which they would escape. So the Soviets build  wall to separate the two parts of Berlin and made it impossible  to cross.
The quotation that I have chosen is " Viktor! What on earth are you doing here?" This is what the author said when his  assistant who lived in east Berlin and could not pass the border until the wall wasn't down.
