Early in the morning of March 27, 2013, developers of a luxury hi-rise apartment building demolished a section of the Berlin Wall, despite massive protests against its destruction. This particular section of the Berlin wall, which itself stands as a reminder that unity is superior to division, is the longest existing section of the wall, and is covered in meaningful murals from dozens of world-renown artists.
This petition asks the Obama's administration to request the government of the Federal Republic of Germany to take greater steps to preserve this historic monument. The wall represents a shared history of lessons learned together, and its continued existence allows us to honor and remember the sacrifices of those who once sought to tear it town for a far more important reason.
