Description

Speaking at the notorious Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, Reagan repudiates the “evil that victimized all the world with its destruction”

Signed transcript, three pages, 8.5 x 14, May 5, 1985. A copy of an historically important speech given at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where Anne Frank and many others lost their lives, signed by Reagan in blue ink at the top of the first page “As per your request, Ronald Reagan.” Reagan states, in part, “This painful walk into the past has done much more than remind us of the war that consumed the European Continent. What we have seen makes unforgettably clear that no one of the rest of us can fully understand the enormity of the feeling carried by the victims of these camps. The survivors carry a memory beyond anything that we can comprehend. The awful evil started by one man, an evil that victimized all the world with its destruction, was uniquely destructive of the millions forced into the grim abyss of these camps. Here lie people—Jews—whose death was inflicted for no other reason other than their very existence.” In fine condition with a couple of staple holes to the upper left corner. R&R COA. R&R COA.
