50 Years Later
Today, the 13th August 2011, is the day we mark a dark anniversary – fifty years ago, on this date, the Berlin Wall was completed and the separation of Germany was a fact. Berlin is today full of people enjoying their unity and safety, but it is also full of people placing flowers of what remains a wreck in the middle of the city. Because of both people, a day of recalling the events around the Berlin Wall is important – and again because of them the value of the world peace is what needs to be constantly remembered.
Berlin wall divided Germans for generations. Today a separation is still observable – Eastern Germany is still marked by the signs of social dominance while the West remains happily developing. The Economist magazine points out that despite being one country, the communism regime had shaped the Germans from the east as individuals who would need to undergo another five decade assimilation into the world of modern democracy.
No matter whether such claims generate any truth, today is a remembrance of what peace used to mean before – it used to be a definition of super powers to cover their power behind peaceful purposes. Today, the situation might be rather different but the same motives can be observed – the wall nowadays separates Eastern and Western Europe once again. The first are rapidly struggling to escape financial difficulties while the latter are quite happy to be among the most developed countries in the world.
And while today many would seek to find advice on accidents at work compensation schemes and not even see that it is the date when one of the greatest monstrosities in Europe was completed, others would place flowers over the remainings of the Berlin Wall hoping that this time peace would last for longer.
