Chancellor kohl, governing mayor diepgen, ladies and gentlemen:

twenty-four years ago, president john f. kennedy visited berlin, speaking to the people of this city and the world at the city hall. well, since then two other presidents have come, each in his turn, to berlin. and today i, myself, make my second visit to your city.

we come to berlin, we american presidents, because it's our duty to speak, in this place, of freedom. but i must confess, we're drawn here by other things as well: by the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation; by the beauty of the grunewald and the tiergarten; most of all, by your courage and determination. perhaps the composer paul lincke understood something about american presidents. you see, like so many presidents before me, i come here today because wherever i go, whatever i do: “ich hab noch einen koffer in berlin.” [i still have a suitcase in berlin.]

our gathering today is being broadcast throughout western europe and north america. i understand that it is being seen and heard as well in the east. . to those listening in east berlin, a special word: although i cannot be with you, i address my remarks to you just as surely as to those standing here before me. for i join you, as i join your fellow countrymen in the west, in this firm, this unalterable belief: es gibt nur ein berlin. [there is only one berlin.]

Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
