On May 23, 1949, the British, French, and American zones became the West Germany whereas the Soviet quadrant became East Germany, the socialist German Democratic Republic (GDR).

The situation in East Germany was dismal. Food and resources were scarce. Millions of East Germans left their homes to move to the West. On April 1, 1948, the Soviet Union blockaded routes in and out of East Germany, causing food and fuel shortages. After the blockade was lifted in 1949, the number of East Germans migrating west increased.

Starting in 1952, East Germany tried to stop the exodus with fences, walls, barbed wires, and mine fields. By the end of May, the only way to get out of East Germany and escape to freedom was through Berlin.

As the final push in its effort to seal its borders, the GDR began to build a wall around the three western sectors of Berlin on August 13, 1961, using barbed wire and cinder blocks; these were later replaced with concrete, guard towers, electrified fences, and mines.

The wall slowed escape attempts. As many as 10,000 people tried to get over the wall—as many as 5,000 made it. 260 people died while trying to cross the wall between 1961 and 1989.

Mass protests against the East German government began in the fall of 1989, and Erich Honeker, the country's prime minister, resigned. On November 9, 1989, his replacement, Egon Krenz, decreed that East Germans would be allowed to apply for visas to travel to the West. Ecstatic crowds swarmed the city's checkpoints, demanding entry into West Berlin.

Gates along the Wall were opened, and Berliners united amidst celebrations on both sides. Crowds climbed on top of the wall and began to attack it with sledgehammers. In less than a year, the two countries were reunited.

Once upon a time in West Sumatra, a widow took her two children to a party. Her children were very happy. They wore beautiful clothes to the party. They ate delicious foods, and met many guests in the party.

Suddenly they saw a pond. The water was very clear and fresh. Because the sun was very hot, they were tempted to play in the water. So they took off their clothes and jumped into the water. They swam together happily. When, the party was almost over, the mother remembered her two children. She was desperate because she could not find them. The day turned into night. The children were still missing. The mother cried then went home without her children.

She fell asleep after a long hour of crying. And she had a dream about her children. In her dream, she met an old woman. The old woman told her, “Your children are in the pond near the party house. If you want to see them, throw a handful of rice into the pond. Your children will appear.” As soon as she woke up, she quickly ran to the pond. She also had a handful of rice in her hand. When she reached the pond, she threw the rice into the pond and she called her children’s names.

The dream was true! Two big fish with beautiful colors appeared in the pond. The mother cried when she saw them. Her children turned into big beautiful fish because they disobeyed their mother’s message. The mother cried again. All the people of the village cheered her up. But she was still very sad.
