Front-line City: The Cold War and Berlin
Our new exhibition marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Front-line City: The Cold War and Berlin focuses on Berlin during the Cold War - from the post-Second World War division to the events of 1989 - and European fears of nuclear war. The display draws on a range of collections at the Modern Records Centre, including documents from the archives of the Trades Union Congress, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Richard Crossman and Amnesty International.
