Question

Draw Conclusions: Why do you think Pinard sat down and wept after chipping pieces off the Berlin Wall? Explain what the wall meant to Pinard and the people who gathered around him to clap.

Answer 1

To Pinard and the people who gathered around him the Berlin Wall had epitomized hostility and extreme separation between German families and friends due to the response of the Soviet Union to the Nazi invasion of their country, so when it was torn down this was a big relief to the German people who could once more be united after 40 years.
