Hoyer Statement on the 30th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

Freedom has many difficulties, and democracy is not perfect,’ President Kennedy told the people of a besieged West Berlin in 1963.  However, he declared, ‘we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us.’  His powerful words chipped like figurative hammers against the system of totalitarian Communism, which cast a shadow of fear and repression across Eastern and Central Europe and much of the world.
