Section of the Berlin Wall in front of the Museum of the Occupations and Freedom

Since 2014, a section of the Berlin Wall has stood in front of the Museum of Occupations and Freedom in the Estonian capital. This part of the wall originally stood at the Potsdamer Platz. When the monument was unveiled in Tallinn to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Estonian State Secretary Heiki Loot said the wall could be interpreted in two ways. Firstly, it symbolises the atrocities of inhuman dictatorships and secondly the joy of liberation.
