Wir sind das Volk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wir sind das Volk!

Heard chanted at the Montagsdemonstrationen (Monday Demonstrations) in Germany in 1989, the slogan was meant to emphasize the demonstrators' wish to be heard by the single-party government of East Germany. It translates "We are the people", and though these words and similar expressions have been used in other places and times, it is usually identified with the Reunification of Germany.
