Dominoes stand in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany, Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009. Around 1,000 dominoes were placed on the former border near the Brandenburg Gate for the Festival of Freedom on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on Nov. 9, 2009 and will collapse during the commemoration event. (AP Photo/Herbert Knosowski)BERLIN (AP) - Massive colorful dominoes painted by German students were placed Saturday along the former path of the Berlin Wall to mark the 20th anniversary of the opening of the barrier that divided the city for nearly three decades.
