Dear Mr. President:
It was indeed an honor and a privilege to have been one of
your representatives at Babi Yar, under the excellent leadership
of your brother Jonathan. A simple thank you does not convey the
depth of my appreciation for such an honor. I will remember it
for a long time to come.
While in Kiev, we saw exhibitions along the streets on the
Jewish massacre at the Babi Yar ravine -- exhibits vividly
depicting the truth of what happened then and what should be
remembered. We heard statements admitting responsibility from
Ukrainian leaders and Gorbachev's message declaring that
antisemitism will no longer be tolerated in the U.S.S.R. We
welcome these voices.
Mr. President, I am grateful that the walls of lies and
forgetfulness have cracked in the Soviet Union. It gives me hope
that indeed a new world could be emerging, a world of tolerance
and understanding that will build peace and good will for all.
I remain deeply grateful to you, and your staff, who made
this historic moment possible for me.
Sincerely,
Renamn Meed

I am pleased to send greetings to all those who
are gathered at the United States Capitol for the
1992 Days of Remembrance Ceremony.
As this ceremony reminds us, each of us has a
solemn obligation to help preserve the memory and
the meaning of the Holocaust. Although we will
be haunted forever by the horror of those dark
and godless days, let us also remember the brave
heroes and martyrs who fought against the evils
of Nazism. Their courage and sacrifices must not
only strengthen our faith in the goodness of man
but also challenge and inspire us -- to denounce
affronts to human life and dignity wherever and
whenever they occur.
Through their efforts to erect a Holocaust museum,
the members of the United States Holocaust
grienns
Memorial Council are playing a leading role in
efforts to teach younger generations about this
deprovable
bloody chapter in history. In so doing, Council
members are also helping to show why we must not
and will not tolerate bigrotry and hatred today
-- be they in the form of racism, anti-Semitism,
or anti-religious activity and slander.
I commend the Council and its supporters for their
commitment to this worthy cause, and I join with
all of you in remembering and praying for the
victims of the Holocaust.

Presidential Message regarding April 26 - May,

Every year the President issues a "Days of Remembrance" message

the Holocaust. The United States Holocaust Memorial Council
would appreciate another such letter for the upcoming
commemorated days. They would also appreciate the message by
March 1 to allow for planning appropriate activities with other

Dear Bobbie:
As you know, every year the President has issued a Days of
Remembrance message to remind the American people of the
importance of the Holocaust and to encourage remembrance
nationwide. The recent Louisiana gubernatorial election and the
President's forceful condemnation of David Duke certainly
highlight the fact that the Holocaust continues to resonate in
our public life.
I am writing you well in advance of Days of Remembrance,
which takes place from April 26 - May 3, 1992, in hopes that a
Presidential message could be issued early enough this year for
distribution to the other federal agencies in time for them to
possibly plan some appropriate activity. In the past, the
Departments of Education and Defense, working closely with the
Council, have sponsored their own special commemorations.
I thought that the President's remarks in the videotaped
message which he did for the Museum were particularly effective
in communicating the universal implications of the Holocaust. He
said, "Here at the Museum we will learn that each of us bears
responsibility for our actions -- and for our failure to act.
Here, we will learn that we must intervene when we see evil
arise. Here, we will learn more about the moral compass by which
we must navigate our lives and by which countries will navigate
the future. Bobbie, something along these lines, which 1S so
meaningful to all Americans, would be perfect!

RE:
Presidential Message for Days of Remembrance
Bobbie, you may recall that I wrote you on November 18
(attached) to request that the President issue his annual Days of
Remembrance message as soon as possible so that we could send it
to other federal agencies and interested institutions in time to
allow them to plan their own commemorations.
As you know, this is an important opportunity for the
Council to broaden its outreach, and we would be most grateful
for your assistance in this critical matter. Many thanks.

Dear Bobbie,
/ want to thank you with all my heart for giving me such a warm reception
yesterday while / was in your office. You made me feel so proud to be an American.
/ also want to thank you for taking me into Bill Kristol's office. It was a pleasure
meeting him.
We have already ordered a leather-bound copy of our National Registry "Book of
Names" for the President, and eagerly look forward to your letting us know the possibility
of a personal presentation. Permit me again to tell you that our National Registry now has
close to 80,000 individual records which will be transferred to the United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum to be preserved for posterity.
It was only ten years ago that President Bush, then The Vice President, on the
steps of the Capitol, presented the key to the future Museum to the Holocaust survivors.
We have all come a long way since then.
Thank you again, and with best personal regards, / am
Sincerely yours
