When The Berlin Wall Split Families 🧱 | Concrete That Turned Homes Into Borders

Описание: Berlin Wall divided families • East Germany border checkpoints • Cold War Berlin daily life

Friedrichstraße “Palace of Tears” • travel permits • Stasi surveillance • 1989 border opening

Berlin Wall history documentary (long-form) about separation, paperwork, and reunions.

This RetroScope episode follows the Wall as a system: glass booths, stamped permissions, monitored phone lines, workplace punishment, and the way fear enters the home. 🧱📄📞

We move chronologically toward 1989, when cracks appear, crossings accelerate, and the city learns what it costs to get time back.

Watch to the end for the aftermath: the line that remains even after the concrete breaks. 🧱🕯️
