Plaque inscription:
In August, 1961 this infamous symbol of the Cold War was erected to keep the East Germans from fleeing in order to the West. The Soviets built a wall between the East and West sections of Berlin. For the next 28 years the Cold War raged on and “Checkpoint Charlie” governed passage. The Wall stood as a harsh reminder of the chasm between the non-communist West and communist East. On November 9,1989 the Wall was symbolically brought down. Only a few parts of the Wall remain. The Hard Rock Cafe is proud to display this piece of history that symbolizes the Wall of oppression.
