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 these events firsthand. In her memoir she draws a parallel between the stone-and-mortar Berlin Wall and her equally insurmountable parental walls.
