In these days we remember:
00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:07.120
Ten years ago, Berlin's residents
were given the Liberty Bell.
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.480
It was a present
from the American people,
00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.640
a sign of appreciation
for Berlin's fight for freedom.
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.800
The Berlin City Parliament
commemorated this day.
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.080
Mayor Willy Brandt gave a speech.
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:23.560
Germany's problem will not be solved
00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:26.640
until our people have become reunited.
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.200
The right of self-determination
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:33.360
will eliminate the division
of Germany.
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.480
Today and in the time
that lies ahead of us,
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:43.720
what matters is that
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.280
the smaller part of the free Germany
00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:51.240
is not separated from the bigger part
of the free Germany.
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.720
I think the sound of our Liberty Bell
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.880
is not only a warning signal,
00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:01.200
but also a promise.
00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:02.840
The idea of freedom
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.120
could never be oppressed for long.
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:16.320
