The Berlin Wall was one of the absurdities of the Cold War, by which a city was cut in half just to make sure that the ideological purity, and the Soviet thought control established in the eastern section of the city would not be contaminated by any ideas leaking in from the west. This was very frustrating to the citizens of Berlin, and many people were killed while trying to cross the wall, often for no more subversive purpose than the desire to visit their own relatives. It was this kind of thing which helped to create a great dislike for the whole communist system, which was overthrown in 1990. So, the Berlin Wall became a symbol of the injustices of Soviet communism.
