Summer 1989: a few amateur cameras walked the Wall's West Berlin face. Memorials to those killed climbing the Wall, cracked concrete, graffiti, almost no foot traffic. The footage was forgotten for decades and recently restored — what's eerie about it is how stable everything looks, four months before the regime fell. Surfaced via Open Culture.
