To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Dr. Carlo Jordan, an eye-witness from Berlin, Germany, gave a lecture at the Department of History, Quaid-i-Azam University — organized exclusively by Prof. Dr. Sayed Wiqar Ali Shah.

Guest Speaker
Mr. Carlo Jordan
One of the activists of the peaceful revolution which took place in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) at the end of the 1980s. He was part of several protest activities against the Socialist Unity Party of Germany and suffered under repressions of the state power of the former GDR.

Mr. Jordan also gave the audience deep insights into his life and how he personally experienced the fall of the Berlin Wall in the bitter winter of 1989 — a firsthand testimony of one of the defining moments of the twentieth century, the end of the Cold War's most potent physical symbol of division.

"A unique opportunity for our students to hear directly from someone who lived through the peaceful revolution — history not from a textbook, but from a witness who was there." — Prof. Dr. Sayed Wiqar Ali Shah, Organizer
