Joe's Vault: Live from Berlin
November 9th marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, when the East German government eased their grip on their people and allowed them to pass freely to West Germany, including West Berlin.

The next few days saw huge celebrations in Berlin and on November 13th, Kathi Goertzen and photographer Rick Jewett sent their first live reports back to Seattle.

They saw great joy in so many people over the next few days, and Kathi has a reflection on those events 20 years ago on our 5pm show this evening.

Here are her live appearances from our 5pm show on November 13, 1989, and her report from the 6:30 show.
