Germany To Mark 20 Years Since Fall Of Berlin Wall

BERLIN - NOVEMBER 03: Workers construct an extension to the Berlin Wall memorial at Bernauer Strasse in front of a still-standing section of the former Berlin Wall on November 3, 2009 in Berlin, Germany. On November 9, 2009 Germany will mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall, which paved the way for the end of communist rule across Eastern Europe and German reunification later on. The Berlin Wall, built by the communist East German government in 1961, divided communist-controlled East Berlin and Allied-occupied West Berlin. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
