East German offer to reopen Berlin wall for Easter and Whitsun
West German and Allied officials studied a Communist East German proposal to reopen the Berlin wall for Easter and Whitsun holidays. The plan would permit one day passes for West Berliners to visit relatives in East Berlin, with temporary permit offices in West Berlin schools and faster processing for family emergencies. The proposal follows the Christmas and New Year family reunions and seeks to renew the 1961-era access with conditions similar to prior holidays.
