Eighteen years ago the Berlin Wall fell and Eastern Germans got their freedom.
&lt;/p&gt;

Today, more than 20% of Germans (in both parts of the country) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/germany/article/0,,2207087,00.html&quot;&gt;want the Wall back&lt;/a&gt;, according to a poll; 73% of East Germans think that socialism was a good idea in principle. Almost 80% of East Germans, according to another poll (published by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spiegel.de/international/&quot;&gt;&quot;Spiegel&quot;&lt;/a&gt; magazine), hold that the school system was one of the particular strengths of the former GDR - faz.net has &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.faz.net/s/RubCF3AEB154CE64960822FA5429A182360/Doc~E24097A7826194F869D645494F764DDEB~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html&quot;&gt;some of the facts&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
