I was watching a news show last week and they were talking about how President Obama declined Germany's invitation to go there for the celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. One of the people on this show said that some young Germans today have actually been taught that America built the Berlin Wall. I did some web surfing on this trying to find something about it but couldn't find anything. The idea sounds completely preposterous, but it's so preposterous I can't imagine someone would just throw that out there unless there was maybe some kernel of truth in it. Does anyone know of anything like this? (And I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the person who who said this, but I did hear it.)

I have never heard a German claiming that. Here is a little bit of what I found about this on Wikipedia:

damals befand man sich im "kalten Krieg"
um zu verhindern das sich die gemüter erhitzen wurde die Mauer akzeptiert
1989 wurde sie eingerissen
und ja es war mit Verlust
Ideale lösten sich ins nichts auf
Arbeitslosogkeit nahm zu

So glücklich alle waren das sie weg war
man kann nicht von heute auf morgen erwarten
das alles gleich super läuft
tuts ja bis heute noch nicht
immer noch wenn vielleicht nicht mehr so stark
Ossis und Wessis Leider
sind wir doch einfach alle nur Menschen
auf dem ganzen Globus
