President Donald Trump proclaimed Nov. 9 as “World Freedom Day,” to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall and to denounce communism, while recognizing those who have stood up against communism and other totalitarian systems.

The Berlin Wall was built by communist East Germany to keep people from escaping its totalitarian regime. In his proclamation, Trump honored the events on Nov. 9, 1989, “when people of East and West Germany tore down the Berlin Wall and freedom triumphed over communism.”
