Learn about Protestant churches in Budapest that hid Jewish children during Hungary's darkest days. Explore the Danish rescue that saved 95% of Denmark's Jews, uprisings in death camps, hidden children who survived in silence, and the Righteous Among Nations who risked everything.

Episode 436: CHY4U - RST - Pop Culture, Media, and The Berlin Wall
This podcast episode dives into the complex history behind the Berlin Wall, as well as the pop
culture, media, and various art pieces that came from it. It will be revealed how the wall evolved
into a powerful cultural artifact through its influence on music, film, literature, and visual art.
This episode will include fun facts about the wall and its influence on pop culture from the 1960s
and onwards, even until 2025. Although the Berlin Wall was a symbol of the harsh division
between East and West Germany, the two sides were connected in many ways. Some of those
connections were protests through visual art and music performances that helped push the
wall’s eventual collapse in 1989.
This episode was researched and produced by Grade 12 Student Dani Taylor for her CHY4U World History RST.
