<i>In these days we remember:</i>

00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:07.120
<i>Ten years ago, Berlin's residents</i>
<i>were given the Liberty Bell.</i>

00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.480
<i>It was a present</i>
<i>from the American people,</i>

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.640
<i>a sign of appreciation</i>
<i>for Berlin's fight for freedom.</i>

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.800
<i>The Berlin City Parliament</i>
<i>commemorated this day.</i>

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.080
<i>Mayor Willy Brandt gave a speech.</i>

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
