Through videos and readings, the students learned what led up to the construction of the Wall, what life was like on either side of the Wall, and about a few of the many escape attempts during the 28 years of the Wall’s existence.

Then each student created a “brick” with their name and symbols or words of peace and hope. The wall of bricks was first displayed in a hallway near their classroom on November 1 and then the students removed the bricks on November 12 to symbolize the wall coming down.
