Berlin Marks 50th Anniversary of 'The Wall'
[quote]Germans on Saturday marked the 50th anniversary of the rise of the Berlin Wall, which divided Berlin and came to define the Cold War.
The city observed a minute of silence at noon in memory of those who died trying to escape.
Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit told a ceremony that the construction of the wall 50 years ago must be a constant reminder to maintain freedom and democracy.
German President Christian Wulff and Chancellor Angela Merkel also attended the ceremony.
After the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, the victorious World War II allies divided Germany into four zones of occupation.
