It was fascinating to read about the “ >new Iron Curtain of Europe ” (Nov. 27). I remember the time I visited the Berlin Wall, a few weeks before it was demolished, and how hard it was to visit East Germany. It is unfortunate that new walls are coming up to keep away immigrants and refugees. The demolition of the Wall is a landmark in history and a reminder of how changing demographics, recession and increasing pressure on welfare systems are factors in today’s world.
