Comment du Jour

3 October

Day of German Unity


The Amazing Freedom Autumn of 1989 brought extraordinary results throughout Middle Europe.

Hungary, Czechoslovalia and East Germany were rocked by peaceful protests for democracy. The moribund communist regimes soon collapsed.

In November 1989, the Joshua Trumpet sounded and the Berlin Wall fell into the dustbin of history.

On October 3rd 1990, Germany was reunited in peace, freedom and liberty.

Who could have dared even imagine, such a surprising and peaceful end of the Soviet empire in Europe?

Thank you Helmut Kohl and Ronald Reagan.
