Pablo Atchugarry, the artist tasked with recasting the statue, said he would “continue working on the construction of a symbol of peace that helps us get closer to that ideal.”

I wonder if he'll keep the dove idea just without the whole 'melting down a giant Nazi eagle' part

I like the dove statue idea for a city, just because cities are full of underappreciated and unfairly maligned doves (also known as pigeons).

Yes, more pigeon appreciation in cities is a must!
