EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment in West Berlin, Germany, just 10 days after the relaxation of border crossing by the GDR Government. Taken on November 19th, 1989, it showcases a queue of cars making their way westward past Checkpoint Charlie. This significant development allowed East German citizens to finally cross into West Berlin and West Germany. The image portrays a powerful scene of hope and freedom as people embark on this newfound opportunity for migration. The bustling checkpoint building stands tall in the background, symbolizing both division and unity at once. The presence of allied forces further emphasizes the historical context surrounding this photograph. Arthur Sidey skillfully captured this pivotal moment in time through his lens, preserving an important chapter in German history. Through his photography, we are transported back to an era filled with anticipation and excitement as barriers were broken down and families reunited. This print from Memory Lane Prints serves as a reminder of how political decisions can profoundly impact individual lives. It is a testament to human resilience and our innate desire for connection and exploration beyond borders.
