J. Elke Ertle, author of Walled-In: A West Berlin Girl's Journey to Freedom, discusses the events that led to the Berlin Blockade, the Berlin Airlift, and the construction of the Berlin Wall.
Having grown up in Berlin, Germany, during the '40s, '50s and '60s, Ertle witnessed the effects of the Cold War firsthand. In her memoir she draws a parallel between the stone-and-mortar Berlin Wall and her equally insurmountable parental walls.
