Among the places Anna and Alverna traveled to together was the Berlin Wall in 1988. The very next year, the wall would be torn down and German Berliners reunited. Many a poor soul trying to flee East Berlin was gunned down near where Anna stands here, which is why she look so serious. We don't doubt that she's monitoring similar events in Tehran this week with the same sympathy and gravity.
