"..On Sunday morning, august 13th 1961, the border between West and East Berlin was closed. East German soldiers tore up the streets and the roads in order to prevent any vehicle to pass by. Barbed wire and wired fences were installed along the border towards West Berlin. Anyone trying to hinder the work would be shot.

During the course of one day, many families were split apart. If someone happened to be on the wrong side of the border during the closure, it was impossible to go back. They would not be able to return to their friends and family for a long time to come. Shortly after the Sunday morning, the first concrete blocks were put into place and the Berlin Wall had risen."
