On November 9, 1989 an announcement was made by the East German government. Crossing borders was allowed, therefore Germans were allowed to go to either East Germany and West Germany. Many were in shock, wondering if this was really true.

Some people started to tear down the wall using hammers and chisels desperate to go through. Once the wall was down, there was crying, hugging, singing, and cheering coming from all the reunited Germans.
