...but this is how I remember it:
Twenty years ago my parents got a phone call from my uncle. At the time he worked for the Federal Reserve, out of their office in Switzerland - well, by happenstance he was in West Berlin for a meeting. Rumor had it, he said, that the Berlin Wall was coming down. He was going to go see if it was true.
My parents didn't believe it could possibly be true, and they were worried that he might get shot going anywhere near the wall. My uncle wasn't worried. He went. It was.
