The Berlin Wall, the Iron Curtain and their division of West and East have defined a large part of 20th century German history. In this lecture, Professor Edith Scheffer explores examples with which the Wall was as much a societal one as a physical one.

Edith Sheffer is a Senior Fellow at the Institute of European Studies at the University of California, Berkeley and an Assistant Professor at Stanford University.
