“Today, after several manifestations, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) –In German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR)-, in an unexpected press conference, announced the free passage of the East German to Weast German. I was in my house. I came back after of the manifestation. To be honest, I never waited such a reaction. For us, for Germany, this is like a dream. After 28 years, finally I can see my family again. I was 15 years old when the leaders decided to put the fence and prohibit the leave I am 43 years old, but my forces are enough. No one is calm. I'm screaming from the bottom of my soul. We must break the wall! How nice dear Brothers!

The tears are falling on my cheeks. I took a hammer and together with my own strength and neighbors, I went to the wall. Everyone was there, thousands and thousands of Germans. On arrival, I approached the front wall. The wall was colossal, imposing and terrible, but my hammer was stronger, bigger than these piece of concrete. My hand had more determination and then I hit him. I'm feeling a big void; a void is getting full of hope!
