How do you escape a wall that divides an entire city—and what happens when thousands of people decide they shouldn’t have to?

During the Cold War, Berlin became one of the strangest cities on Earth. Apartment windows became escape routes. Subway trains passed through forbidden ghost stations. Spies dug secret tunnels, students helped families escape underground, and two families built a homemade hot-air balloon to fly across the fortified East–West German border.

But what was everyday life like for the people who stayed? How did families, neighbors, and children adapt to a city divided by concrete, barbed wire, and armed guards?

In this episode of Sleeping Through the Pages, we explore the Berlin Wall through remarkable true stories of espionage, ingenuity, separation, and reunion—culminating in the extraordinary night of November 9, 1989, when the gates finally opened.

Part Two of our Cold War journey, following The Iron Curtain: How Fear Divided the World.
