Democracy cannot be taken for granted. It must be safeguarded anew every day.
Germany experienced this first-hand: it ended in 1933. Dictatorship, war and division followed.
In 1990, reunification was achieved through free elections.
Divided by history. United by choice.
German Consulate General Atlanta retweeted
🤝 A decade before 3 October 1990, the day now celebrated as German Unity Day, steps were already being taken to end the division of Europe and pave the way for German reunification.
How was Germany united? 👇
