So it will be 30 years ... Thirty years ago, Communist Hungary opened its borders to Austria. First, hundreds, then thousands, of the tens of thousands of East Germans went to freedom. Through the Czech territory.
The Czech Republic closed their borders in August. The Germans resorted to the Embassy of the then Federal Republic of Germany. Events have taken a rapid turn.
In November, the communist regime in East Germany and Czechoslovakia collapsed ... This is reminiscent of the exhibition in Queen Anne's Summer Palace at Prague Castle.
