Fall of Berlin Wall opened LWC to students for Eastern Europe Click on headline for full story, photo By Duane Bonifer, LWC Director of Public Relations If you want to understand one of the consequences of the fall of the Berlin Wall, take a look at Lindsey Wilson College's undergraduate student body. This school year, LWC has almost a dozen students from European nations that were entirely different 20 years ago. Some of the nations -- such as Latvia, Serbia and Slovakia -- didn't exist in 1989. The other countries were closed to the West because they were trapped within the orbit of the former Soviet Union. The event that changed those countries happened on Nov. 9, 1989, when the Berlin Wall - the ultimate symbol of tyranny and oppression of the Cold War - fell in response to a decision by East German officials to allow its citizens to visit West Germany and West Berlin. The decision by East German officials proved to be the death knell of the Soviet Union and its Eastern European satellites. A little more than two years later, the Soviet Union was officially declared dead. Although they were too young to have participated in what became known as the Revolution of 1989, seven LWC students recently reflected on how that Nov. 9 event changed their lives. Anca Verona of Braila, Romania, remembers the sights and sounds of autumn and winter of 1989. "I remember going to church with my grandma, and on the way there in downtown there were a lot of gunshots and people standing on the top of buildings," she said. Romania underwent a dramatic revolution that year autumn and winter, culminating in the Christmas Day execution of dictator Nicolae Ceau This story was posted on 2009-11-11 10:42:22
