I did an interview on my Berlin novel, “The Puzzle People,” this past week in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The Wall came down on November 9, 1989, when an East German bureaucrat accidentally announced the immediate opening of travel between West and East Berlin. Within hours, tens of thousands of East Berliners were at the checkpoints, demanding to be let across. The border guards, taken completely by surprise, eventually gave up and let them through. The rest is history.
