VOA News - Hungary Marks Anniversary of Beginning of Collapse of Iron Curtain

VOA News - Hungary Marks Anniversary of Beginning of Collapse of Iron Curtain: "Hungary is marking the 20th anniversary of its decision to allow tens of thousands East Germans to cross the Hungarian border and flee to the West. It was a risky decision that contributed to the collapse of the Iron Curtain and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Former refugees from then-communist East Germany and aid workers still recall the often traumatic experiences that preceded the mass exodus to freedom."
