Section 3
　Murals can be seen in Berlin,/Germany,/as well. They have a unique origin. They were painted/on the Berlin Wall.
　The Berlin Wall divided the city/into the West and the East/from 1961 to 1989. The wall was a symbol/of the Cold War. In 1989,/a few days after the fall of the wall,/118 artists from 21 countries/started painting murals/on the east side of the wall. The next year,/1.3 kilometers of the wall/was officially opened/as the East Side Gallery.
　The artists included their individual messages/and statements/in their murals. They must have been an expression/of people’s happiness/over the end of the German division. It seems/that they remind people/of the sad history/of creating a border/inside one country.
