10. A Family separated by the Berlin Wall

Rare Historical Photos

A desperate family introduces their new family members to their relatives in this historical photo. Taken shortly after construction began in 1961, this photo is a beautiful way to show the true impact of the division of Germany.  This wall divided East and West Berlin until 1989.  During that time, families just like this one were isolated from each other.  Here they show people on the other side of the wall their new babies.  Undoubtedly, additional heartbreaking photos like this exist in more places than just Germany.
