【新唐人2014年11月11日訊】德國9號隆重紀念推倒柏林牆25年週年的慶祝活動，德國總理梅克爾在活動上致辭說，這件事向全世界證實，夢想是可以實現的。梅克爾在此前的活動中還說，德國將永遠感激東德人走上街頭，抗議共產黨獨裁的勇氣。不過，有分析指，雖然柏林牆倒了，但共產政權還在對成千上萬的人施暴。
11月9號晚，德國首都紀念柏林牆倒塌25週年活動，成千上萬的人絡繹不絕地湧進勃蘭登堡門，參加「公民派對」，活動結束後，7000個氦氣球被一個一個地放飛，像徵著柏林牆的消失。
梅克爾發表講話說，柏林牆的倒塌向全世界證實，夢想是可以實現的，沒有甚麼可以一成不變的。她認為，柏林牆的倒塌向人們傳達了這樣一個信念：我們有能力推倒專制、暴力、意識形態和仇恨的牆。
柏林牆建於1961年，全長155公里，當時是為了阻止東德人進入西德。
1989年，東歐政局發生變動，同年11月4號開始，幾十萬東德人上街遊行要求民主、自由。柏林牆被推倒後，成為冷戰結束的像徵。
旅美原大陸歷史學教授劉因全：「德國本來是一個統一的國家，因為二戰時分裂成兩個國家，柏林牆當時是所謂的社會主義陣營和資本主義陣營的一個分界線，一個就是自由民主的制度，一個就是社會主義制度，為了把這兩個國家分開，就建了柏林牆。」
據路透社報導，梅克爾在週六的活動中表示，在89年的運動中，越來越多的東德人拋棄了對來自國家鎮壓和欺騙的恐懼，他們走上街頭，不再回頭。幸虧有他們的勇氣，那堵牆被打開了。
而25年前的梅克爾還是一名東德科技人員。她說，柏林牆是「以水泥築成的國家濫權的像徵」，把數百萬人民逼到忍無可忍的地步。在它倒塌的那一刻，那是一種無法言表的喜悅，是一個讓她永生難忘的夜晚。
在柏林牆建成後的數十年間，不斷有民眾翻越柏林牆逃往西德，遭到東德邊防軍開槍射殺。據維基百科的說法，截至2009年的統計，死亡人數約有136人至245人。
旅美原大陸歷史學教授劉因全：「社會主義這種陣營，共產黨領導的這種專制、獨裁的制度，是違背人類發展規律的，是逆歷史潮流而動的，這些國家，連年遭受了一些非常大的災難，被屠殺、被壓迫、被盤剝、被迫害，所以東德的人民就渴望到西德去追求民主。」
《紐約時報》報導，東德斯塔西秘密警察，曾詢問一名叫卡特琳．哈籐豪爾的反抗者，問她們是怎樣保持團結的。她回答：「凡是鎚子錘下來時，無論下面是甚麼，都會更緊地聯在一起。」
11月6號，《華爾街日報》刊文說，當世界紀念柏林牆倒塌的時候，也應該記住那些死於試圖越過柏林牆的人。
報導描述了柏林牆的第一位遇難者——Ida Siekmann。1961年8月，她試圖逃出東柏林時，從4樓的窗戶跳下去後死亡﹔1989年初，東德和西德的緊張局勢緩解，東德人Chris Gueffroy以為翻越柏林牆開槍的命令已解除，他試圖逃離時 ，成為最後一名被射殺的人。
不過，報導說，這些遠遠不是最後一名共產主義的受害者。今天，共產政權仍在繼續施暴，壓制那些生在這些國家人們。
最近在中國香港，成千上萬的抗議者走上街頭，要求真普選，遭到中共催淚彈和胡椒噴霧的鎮壓。而就在柏林牆倒塌的1989年，中共大規模屠殺天安門廣場的示威學生。
中共政權還常規性地審查、毆打和監禁持異見人士，並不斷加固防火牆阻止中國人得到外界的資訊。《華爾街日報》的文章，引述一名中共官員2011年的聲明說，中共還通過野蠻的一胎政策，造成了約4億例墮胎。
時政評論員藍述：「每一天紀念柏林牆倒塌的日子的時候，大家都會把目光投到中國去，因為那裏可以說是共產黨的最後一個堡壘，而且是一個已經破產的堡壘，在信念上已經是破產了的那麼一個苟延殘喘的政權，當局者自己也不信共產主義了。」
時政評論員藍述表示，中共專制政權遲早會出現類似柏林牆倒塌的情景，突然在一夜之間解體、崩潰，被15億中國人民徹底的唾棄。

Communist Violence Continues 25 Years After the Fall of Berlin Wall
Speaking on the eve of celebrations to mark the 25th
anniversary of the Berlin Wall’s collapse,
Chancellor Angela Merkel said the fall of the wall
had shown the world that dreams could come true.
Merkel said Germany would always be grateful
for the courage of East Germans who took to the streets
to protest the Communist dictatorship.
But, as analysts point out, even though the Berlin Wall fell,
Communism continues brutal violence against billions.
On the evening of Nov. 9, tens of thousands of people
attended events, including a “citizen’s party"
at the Brandenburg Gate.
7,000 helium balloons have been released into the night sky
to symbolize the Wall’s disappearance.
Merkel said in a speech, “The fall of the Wall showed us
that dreams can come true. Nothing has to stay as it is."
She called the Wall a “symbol of state abuse cast in concrete"
that “took millions of people to the limits
of what is tolerable."
The Berlin Wall, stretching 155 Km, was built in 1961
to stop East Germans fleeing to the West.
It was Nov. 4, 1989, when hundreds of thousands of East
Germans took the streets demanding democracy
and freedom.
The fall of Berlin Wall marked the end of the Cold War.
Former history professor Liu Yinquan: “Germany was a unified
country originally but split into two after World War II.
The Berlin Wall divided the so-called socialist camp
and the capitalist camp;
One was freedom democratic system,
and the other was the socialist system."
Merkel said, “During the course of 1989 more and more
East Germans lost their fears of the state’s repression
and chicanery, and went out on the streets."
“It is thanks to their courage the Wall was opened."
Merkel was a scientist in Communist East Berlin at the time.
“The Berlin Wall, this symbol of state abuse cast in concrete,
took millions of people to the limits of what is tolerable,
and all too many beyond it." said Merkel.
Speaking of the historical day, “There was just
this incredible feeling of happiness." she said.
“It was a night I’ll never forget."
For decades, many people tried to flee to West Berlin
and many ended up in jail for their attempts to escape.
At least 136 people were killed in the attempt.
Professor Liu Yinquan: “The socialist camp, the autocratic
and authoritarian Communist system, is violating the law
of human development and is against the trend of history.
These countries have suffered for years of major disasters
of massacre, oppression, exploitation, persecution.
That.s why the East Germans desired to flee
to West Germany for democracy."
NY Times reported that, “Stasi interrogators had once asked
a prisoner named Katrin Hattenhauer, a young rebel,
how she and her fellow dissidents held together.
She replied, “Where the hammer has come down,
whatever is underneath is going to hold together."
Wall Street Journal reported, “as the world marks the 25th
anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9, 1989,
we should also remember the many dozens of people
who died trying to get past it."
“Ida Siekmann, the wall’s first casualty, died jumping out
of her fourth-floor window while attempting to escape
from East Berlin in August 1961.
Chris Gueffroy, an East German buoyed by the ease
of tensions between East and West in early 1989,
believed that the shoot-on-sight order for the Berlin Wall
had been lifted. He was mistaken.
Gueffroy would be the last person shot attempting
to flee Communist-occupied East Berlin."
“But Gueffroy was far from the last victim of communism.
Today, Communist regimes continue to brutalize and repress
the hapless men, women and children unlucky enough
to be born in the wrong country."
“In China, thousands of Hong Kong protesters recently
took to the streets demanding the right to elect their
chief executive in open and honest elections.
This democratic movement—the most important protests
in China since the Tiananmen Square demonstrations
and massacre 25 years ago—
was met with tear gas and pepper spray from a regime
that does not tolerate dissent or criticism."
On top of the firewall to stop the Chinese from getting
outside voices,
the Communist Party routinely censors, beats and jails dissidents,
and through the barbaric one-child policy has caused some
400 million abortions, according to statements by a Chinese
official in 2011, reported Wall Street Journal.
Commentator Lan Su: “Whenever the commemoration
of the fall of Berlin Wall, people cast their eyes on China,
the last bastion of the Communism.
It is a bankrupt bastion, a regime that lingers on collapsing
convictions.
Even the leadership don’t believe the Communism."
Lan Su believes the Communist regime will sooner or later
tumble down like the Berlin Wall.
It will suddenly disintegrate and collapse overnight.
The 1.5 billion Chinese people will completely revolt.
