The Berlin Wall
The greatest symbol of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was the Berlin Wall. The Soviets had long been concerned about the migration of East Berliners into the western, free sector of Berlin. In 1960, they addressed this concern by closing the roads between East and West Berlin and building a concrete wall with guards at exit and entry checkpoints. This action left West Berlin completely surrounded by Soviet territory.
It is difficult to describe how cut off from everyone and everything the people of West Berlin must have felt when the Soviet Union first erected the wall across the city. “We were a little island of freedom,” said Mr. Venchk, “surrounded by a sea of oppression.”
