Hanover, however, we learned
that White House officials and
the West German authorities
would bar our presence while
Reagan and Kohl would be at
Bergen-Belsen. We were
granted permission to be the
first ones in and to make
speeches and say Kaddish at
the concentration camp, but
only after Reagan and Kohl
had left.
Some argued that we should
attempt to be there regardless
of what the German and
American authorities said;
that group advised that we
should be defiant and strong.
Others said our purpose would
best be served by cooperating;
the world media would be
there, they would report that
children of Holocaust sur-
vivors had been barred from
peacefully protesting in a
democtatic society at a con-
centration camp where many
of these very people had lost
their grandparents, aunts and
uncles, and brothers and sis-
ters.
And so the discussion went
round and round. As I listened,
it became clear to me that a
drama was being played out.
Some were expressing the
general wish to be aggressive
and defiant with the German
authorities of 1985 as if they
were the German authorities
of 1945. They seemed, in es-
sence, to be fighting to undo
the tragedy of the Holocaust.
For the others, this was 1985,
and we should be making the
best of the situation. The
media would be utilized, the
message would still be heard,
and the objectives would still

rect a manner as originally
planned. Eventually, it
seemed, 1985 won over 1945.
Thus, on Sunday morning,
May 5, we set out for Bergen-
Belsen. The mood in the bus
was somber and serious. As
our bus passed by the pic-
turesque German countryside,
it was difficult to imagine the
events that took place here 40
years ago.
As we got closer to Bergen-
Belsen, we saw the massive
security forces. Our bus was
stopped just a mile outside
We were like a
solemn army
marching into
Bergen-Belsen. We
felt angry,
determined and
strong.
Bergen-Belsen. A van full of
West German soldiers pulled
up alongside. It seemed very
eerie to see young German
soldiers with guns pulled up
alongside. Images from 1945
were apparent to everyone.
1945 seemed to be merging
with 1985. Eventually the ci
soldiers left.
We got out and we waited.
With some others, I went into
a nearby pub while we waited
for the go-ahead. I spoke in
German to some of the Ger-
mans there. Surprisingly,
they were supportive of our
being there. They said they
understood what we were
doing and why we were there.
And in general, the Germans I
encountered during the trip
wanted us to know that this
was a new and different Ger-
many from 1945.
Reagan and Kohl's visit to
Bergen-Belsen was blacked
out on West German televi-
sion. But we saw the image on
TV of their limousine slowly
leaving. The TV commentator
said President Reagan had
shown that he was strong and
would not back down in spite
of much criticism. I remember
feeling angry.
At that point, we got the
go-ahead. We all quickly
jumped back on the bus and
drove into Bergen-Belsen. We
got off the bus and we started
to walk in, arm-in-arm. A TV
crew spotted us and filmed our
entry.
