This day marks the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
The day was declared in 2001 by former US President George W. Bush.
The Berlin Wall was built by East Germany on August 13, 1961, to prevent people from moving to West Germany.
On November 9, 1989, East German authorities opened the border crossings following public protests and political changes.
The fall of the wall became a symbol of the end of the Cold War and the demand for freedom and democracy.
Germany was officially reunified on October 3, 1990.
