9 November 1989
The Berlin Wall was a guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East Berlin. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all West Berlin citizens could visit West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the Wall, joined by West Germans on the other side, and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the Wall over the next few weeks. The Wall was demolished, beginning on 13 June 1990 and concluding in 1994.

The unprecedented pogrom of November 9-10, 1938 in Germany is known as Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass). Violent attacks on Jews and Judaism throughout the Reich and in the recently annexed Sudetenland began on November 8 and continued until November 11 in Hannover and the free city of Danzig, which had not then been incorporated into the Reich. There followed associated operations: arrests, detention in concentration camps, and a wave of so-called Aryanization orders, which completely eliminated Jews from German economic life. see myjewishlearning.com/article/kristallnacht9 November 2024
