Thirty years ago, they saw the Wall fall. In Berlin, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of this event, Saturday, November 9, Julien Fanciulli strolls along the remains of the "wall of shame", meeting personalities who are among the great witnesses of this historic moment.
Daniel Cohn-Bendit, a Franco-German politician and major actor from May-68, and writer and documentary filmmaker Géraldine Schwartz are among them. On November 9, 1989, they were there. "There were things that no one understood," said Daniel Cohn-Bendit, marked by the scenes of reunion, "the reunion of people, families who meet, citizens of East Germany who discovered Berlin -Where is".
Géraldine Schwartz, she was 14 years old 30 years ago. Born from a French mother and a German father living in the west, the author of the documentary "The lost hopes of reunification" recalls crying over the images broadcast on television. Images of "East Germans embracing their Western brothers again after 40 years of separation". Today, she lives in a street that at the time was split in half by the wall.
