Ep 83 - The path to freedom: The Berlin Wall

Today we will tell stories of people escaping East Germany into the West. There are lots of tunnels, jumping out of windows, a terrifying homemade hot air balloon, lots of hang gliders, and even a trapeze artist! Imagine a wall being built in your city over night and tomorrow you can't see your family, get to your job, or go to your doctor, and then that wall stays up for almost 30 years. It's wild, and in the span of history - it just happened.
