Models wearing clothes inspired by murals on a portion of the remaining Berlin Wall known as the East Side Gallery pose next to the ‘Brotherkiss’ mural at the East Side Gallery on its official re-opening day on November 6, 2009 in Berlin, Germany. The East Side Gallery, an approximately one-mile still-exisitng portion of the Berlin Wall, has undegone a year-long restoration effort ahead of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall on November 9. The city of Berlin will mark the occasion with a big event at the Brandenburg Gate attended by European Union and former Allied leaders. The models were promoting the clothes that will be auctioned off for charity. The ‘Brotherkiss’ mural features former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and former East German communist leader Erich Honecker kissing.
