The Berlin Wall violated many people’s freedom. People that lived in East Berlin were trapped and could not leave. Families were separated so people could not go see their families and their families could not see them for 28 years.(http://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-events/berlin-wall.htm)
Imagine being born when the wall was put up (1961) and not being able to see your relatives, unless they lived in East Berlin, for 28 years! East Berliners soon realized that they did not want to live under the rule of the Soviet Union. (http://www.ducksters.com/history/cold_war/berlin_wall.php) It was very miserable for the East Berliners at the time.
