If you've been reading the news lately, you may have heard about the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Here are some good articles I have read that deal with this commemoration:

Berlin Wall, Israeli Wall, Mexican Border Wall - & L.A. - The Nation
-Forming parallels between the Berlin Wall and similar political devices that have or still are separating societies

Stasi Files Still Cast Shadow, 20 Years After Berlin Wall Fell - NY Times
-Stories from East Germans about their lives behind the Wall, for example, life under the Stasi (East German secret service)
