Riccardo Ehrman (4 November 1929 – 14 December 2021) was an Italian journalist whose question at a government press conference in the former East Germany is said to have precipitated the fall of the Berlin Wall. Ehrman was born on 4 November 1929 in Florence. His parents were Ukrainian Jews from Lemberg (now Lviv) who had decided to stay in Italy during their honeymoon. Aged 13, he was moved to Ferramonti di Tarsia internment camp. In September 1943, he was liberated by the British Army. Ehrman studied law while being a reporter in Florence. He started as a correspondent for Associated Press in Rome, and later became a correspondent for Agenzia Nazionale Stampa Associata (ANSA), an Italian press agency. While working for ANSA in Ottawa, Canada, Ehrmann was first sent to Berlin in 1976, but was confined for two months in Rome waiting for his visa to be accepted. That year he met a Spanish woman, whom he would marry in 1981. He was subsequently transferred to India.
