BBC World News America Explores Germany 20 Years After Berlin Wall Fell

With the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall approaching Nov. 9, BBC World News America published a special series of Web reports from digital reporter Franz Strasser.

Franz Strasser’s Germany features the reporter, who was five years old when the Berlin Wall fell, exploring his native Germany and examining the changes the country has experienced in the past 20 years.

The network said:

The series will include interviews with Germans from all walks of life—from his family to famous public figures—as well as blogs and reports looking at the triumphs and traumas that ensued after reunification and how the country is marking this major event in its history.
