Construction on the Berlin Wall began in August 1961 by the East Germans to isolate West Berlin. When the Communist regime collapsed in 1989, the Wall was dismantled...first in chips and pieces by the public...and then systematically...as monuments to the freedoms that had been regained.

The segment in the Nixon Library apparently is intended to also memorialize Richard Nixon's supposed contributions toward fighting the Cold War.
