Turning to the President, who sat just ten feet away, Wiesel politely noted that "a stage of reconciliation has been set in motion between us. We were always on the side of justice, always on the side of memory, against the SS and against what they represent." He said that he was convinced that "you were not aware of the presence of SS graves in the Bitburg cemetery . . . But now we all are aware.

Sometime during his ten-day visit, Reagan will surely have kind words to say about the West European allies' resolve in deploying the new Euromissiles. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Belgian Prime Minister Wilfried Martens, Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher have all accepted the NATO weapons on their soil, despite heavy pressure from the peace movement. Allied solidarity has been further strengthened by the near unanimous Western rejection of Gorbachev's recent offer to "freeze" the missile balance in Europe at current levels, which greatly favor the Soviet Union...
