...clumsy treatment of these deeply felt moral issues began when Reagan rejected the idea of a visit to the Dachau concentration camp, saying that it would be "out of line" with the message of German-American reconciliation that he and Chancellor Helmut Kohl hoped to promote. Some Reagan aides added that, although the President was advised to stop at Dachau, he was reluctant to go through the wrenching experience of visiting the camp.
