Hoʻolauleʻa ʻo Kelemania i ka makahiki 20 o ka hina o ka Wall Berlin

Me nā ʻaha mele a me nā hoʻomanaʻo i ka Pōʻakahi, e hoʻolauleʻa ai nā Kelemania i ka lā i hāʻule ai ka Wall Berlin i 20 mau makahiki i hala. I kēlā pō anuanu, ua hula lākou ma luna o ka pā, hāpai nā lima i ka lanakila, puʻupuʻu nā lima i ka hoaloha a me ka manaʻolana. Ua hoʻoheheʻe ʻia nā makahiki o ka kaʻawale ʻana a me ka hopohopo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻole o ke kūʻokoʻa a me ka wā e hiki mai ana me ka ʻole o nā kiaʻi palena, nā mākaʻi huna, nā mea hoʻolaha, a me ka mana koʻikoʻi komunist.

Ke hoʻolauleʻa nei nā Kelemania me nā ʻahamele e kaena ana iā Beethoven a me Bon Jovi; he hana hoʻomanaʻo no ka poʻe 136 i pepehi ʻia e hoʻāʻo ana e hele ma kēlā ʻaoʻao mai 1961 a i 1989; kukui kukui; a me 1,000 kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe domino huʻihuʻi e hoʻonoho ʻia ma ke ala o ka pā a huli ʻia.

Ma ka lā 9 o Nowemapa, 1989, ua hele nui mai nā Kelemania hikina, e holo ana i kā lākou Trabants, kaʻa kaʻa, a me nā kaʻa kaʻa. He mau haneli, a laila mau tausani, a laila haneli haneli i hala i nā lā aʻe.

Ua wehe ʻia nā hale kūʻai ma Berlin komohana i ka pō, a hāʻawi nā panakō i 100 Deutschemarks i "kālā hoʻokipa," a laila ʻoi aku ka waiwai ma kahi o US $50, i kēlā me kēia malihini Kelemania hikina.

ʻEhā lā ka lōʻihi o ka pāʻina a ma ka lā 12 o Nowemapa, ua ʻoi aku ma mua o 3 miliona o ka hikina Kelemania he 16.6 miliona mau kānaka i kipa aku, kokoke i ka hapakolu o lākou i ke komohana ʻo Berlin, ʻo ke koena ma nā puka e wehe ana ma ke koena o ka pā, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka palena i ʻoki i ko lākou ʻāina i ʻelua.

Ua huki ʻia nā ʻāpana o ka pā kokoke i 155 kilomika (100 mau mile) i lalo a hoʻohina. Ua ʻoki ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā ʻāpana e mālama ʻia i mea hoʻomanaʻo. Ua hui hou nā ʻohana waimaka. Hāʻawi nā bar i nā mea inu manuahi. Honi a honi nā malihini me ka champagne.

ʻO Klaus-Hubert Fugger, he haumāna ma ke Kulanui Free ma West Berlin, e inu ana i kahi hale inu i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ka poʻe e hele mai "he ʻano ʻokoʻa ke ʻano."

Kūʻai nā mea kūʻai i nā malihini i kēlā me kēia pōʻai. Ma ke aumoe, ma kahi o ka hoʻi ʻana i ka home, ua lawe ʻo Fugger a me ʻekolu mau mea ʻē aʻe i kaʻa kaʻa i ka ʻīpuka ʻo Brandenburg, he ʻāina ʻaʻohe kanaka lōʻihi, a piʻi i ka pā 12-kapuaʻi (kokoke ʻehā mika) me nā haneli ʻē aʻe.

"Ua like maoli ka nui o nā hiʻohiʻona, e like me ka poʻe e uē ana, no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke kiʻi i ke kūlana," wahi a Fugger, i kēia manawa 43. "He nui ka poʻe i hele mai me nā ʻōmole" o ka champagne a me ka waina ʻulaʻula Kelemania.

Ua noho ʻo Fugger i ka pō aʻe ma luna o ka pā. Hōʻike ʻia kahi kiʻi newsmagazine iā ia i ʻōwili ʻia i kahi scarf.

"A laila ua piha ka pā ma nā wahi a pau, he mau tausani o ka poʻe, a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke neʻe ... pono ʻoe e pana i ka lehulehu o ka poʻe," wahi āna.

Ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Angela Merkel, ke kuhina mua o Kelemania mai ka hikina komunista mua, i ka euphoria ma kahi haʻiʻōlelo i ka pule i hala aku nei i ka US Congress.

"Ma kahi o kahi pā ʻeleʻele wale nō, wehe koke ʻia kahi puka, a hele mākou a pau ma laila: ma nā alanui, i loko o nā hale pule, ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o nā palena," wahi a Merkel. "Ua hāʻawi ʻia i kēlā me kēia kanaka ka manawa e kūkulu i kahi mea hou, e hana i kahi ʻokoʻa, e ʻimi i kahi hoʻomaka hou."

ʻO ka pā i kūkulu ʻia e ka poʻe Komunista ma ke kiʻekiʻe o ke Kaua anuanu a i kū ʻia no 28 mau makahiki ua pau loa. Ke kū nei kekahi mau ʻāpana, ma kahi hale kiʻi kiʻi waho a i ʻole he ʻāpana o ka hale hōʻikeʻike ākea. ʻO kona ala ma ke kūlanakauhale i kēia manawa nā alanui, nā hale kūʻai, a me nā hale hale. ʻO ka mea hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia ka moʻo o nā pōhaku i hoʻopili ʻia e ʻike i kona ala.

Ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ʻo Checkpoint Charlie, ka prefab i lōʻihi i ka hōʻailona o ka noho ʻana o Allied a me ke kaua Cold War, i kahi hale hōʻikeʻike ma ke komohana o Berlin.

ʻO Potsdamer Platz, ke kahua ākea i luku ʻia i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua II a lilo i ʻāina kanaka ʻole i ka wā o ke Kaua Cold, piha i nā hale kūʻai kiʻekiʻe e kūʻai aku ana i nā mea āpau mai nā iPod a i nā bratwursts grilled.

Ma kahi hui ma Berlin i ka lā 31 ʻOkakopa, kū ʻaoʻao ʻo Helmut Kohl, ke kuhina Kelemania nāna i hoʻomalu i ka wehe ʻana o ka pā, me nā peresidena mana nui o ia manawa, ʻo George HW Bush lāua ʻo Mikhail Gorbachev.

Ma hope o nā makahiki he nui o ka hilahila ma hope o ka wā Nazi, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kohl, ʻo ka hāʻule ʻana o ka Wall Berlin a me ka hui hou ʻana o ko lākou ʻāina he 11 mau mahina ma hope mai ua haʻaheo ka poʻe Kelemania.

"ʻAʻole nui nā kumu i ko mākou moʻolelo e haʻaheo ai," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Kohl, i kēia manawa he 79. Akā ma ke ʻano he Chancellor, "ʻAʻohe oʻu mea maikaʻi aʻe, ʻaʻohe mea e haʻaheo ai, ma mua o ka hui hou ʻana o Kelemania."

Ma kahi ninaninau ma Moscow me Associated Press Television News, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Gorbachev he mea hoʻoikaika ia no ka maluhia.

"ʻAʻohe mea paʻakikī, hana mākou, ʻike mākou i ka ʻike like ʻole, a neʻe mākou i mua. Ua hoʻomaka mākou e ʻoki i nā mea kaua nuklea, e hōʻemi ana i nā pūʻali koa i ʻEulopa, a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pilikia ʻē aʻe, "wahi āna.

Ua hoʻomaka ʻia me ka ʻaha kūkā nūhou o ke ahiahi.

Ma ka lā 9 o Nowemapa, 1989, ua haʻi maʻalahi ʻo Guenter Schabowski, he lālā o ka Politburo e noho aupuni ana ma ka hikina hikina e hiki i nā Kelemania hikina ke hele koke i ke komohana.

Ma hope mai, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e wehewehe i kāna mau ʻōlelo a ʻōlelo ʻo ia e paʻa nā lula hou i ke aumoe, akā ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o nā hanana i ka laha ʻana o ka ʻōlelo.

Ma kahi kaʻa mamao ma ka hema o Berlin, ua hana ʻo Annemarie Reffert a me kāna kaikamahine 15 makahiki i ka moʻolelo ma o ka lilo ʻana i poʻe Kelemania hikina mua e hele i ka palena.

Hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Reffert, ʻo 66 i kēia manawa, i ka pohō o nā koa Kelemania hikina i kona hoʻāʻo ʻana e hele i ka palena.

"Ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa wau ua ʻōlelo ʻo Schabowski ua ʻae ʻia mākou e hele," wahi āna. Ua ʻae nā koa palena. Haohao kekahi luna dute no ka loaa ole o kana ukana.

"ʻO kā mākou makemake wale nō e ʻike inā hiki iā mākou ke hele," wahi a Reffert.

I nā makahiki ma hope mai, ua haʻi ʻo Schabowski i kahi nīnau nīnau TV ua hui pū ʻo ia. ʻAʻole ia he hoʻoholo akā he kauā kānāwai i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka Politburo e kūkākūkā ai. Ua manaʻo ʻo ia he ʻōlelo hoʻoholo i ʻāpono ʻia.

I kēlā pō, ma kahi o ke aumoe, wehe aʻela nā kiaʻi palena i nā ʻīpuka. Ma o Checkpoint Charlie, iho i ka Invalidenstrasse, ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke alahaka ʻo Glienicke, he nui ka poʻe i kahe aku i West Berlin, me ka ʻole, ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, ʻeha nā maka.
