it came to a crashing end with the invasion of czechoslovakia.he war in vietnam had taken a very unfortunate turn. the north koreans had seized the uss pueblo and so the cold war was very vividly under way at that point. nowadays there are still major problems with numerous countries, iran, north korea, russia, china, but they're of a different order compared to what was there in 1968 and during other years of the cold war. >> the caller brought up what it was like here on the home front as we had the escalation of the cold war and the rising concerns of vietnam. this is from the defense this is from the defense department from that era, taking a look at how children especially should prepare for the possibility of a nuclear attack. >> at the request of the office of civil and defense mobilization, the united states army chemical corp has developed a mask especially for civilian use. this mask protects the wearer against biological and chemical attack by purifying the air inhaled. filter pads in the mask absorb toxic gases and screen out radioact

the president of czechoslovakia whosethis, our children, rights and prerogatives have never been in doubt are for the merce part -- most part, unaware of this. we are being reminded how delicate all of it is right now. the stability of tacit alliances sum up thelliances best of the consensus on foreign policy. it might seem that all of this has lately been tossed around like pieces on a board. it is important to remember that we have seen such tumult before, and it is a genius of the architects of our liberty that we can withstand it and reemerge the stronger for it. what struck me in namibia that they with such force and has stayed with me ever since is how vital a beacon they united states is and has always been to the peoples of the world. both to those who are already free and those who still suffer in tierney. mr. president -- tyranny. let us recognize that the shadow again around once the globe. s an authoritarian reasserts themselves in country after country -- i'm reminded of my time in the senate. some staff who have worked for me for my entire 18 years in washington. have ablyof

the city of prague in czechoslovakia. next slide. and it is an old city, a lot of beautiful old baroque and romanesque baroque and gothic architecture. next slide. and this is a dirty apartment house, which looks really dirty and grubby right now in this picture. the reason it's dirty and grubby is because this picture was taken immediately after the communist regime folded up in the late 1990s. and, um, it was not taken care of. but this is really nice well cared for apartment building and it now has been fixed up and it looks like a new building. my family was living on the second floor. you can see that rectangular white window, that was actually and that was actually my room my brother and i used that room, that bedroom and the rest of the apartment belonged to my was my parents, my father and mother were living there and not anyone, my father was a physician and he had his office as part of the apartment. we grew up, actually, sort of embarrassing. not even realizing that we were jewish because we were not practicing. we were no

holocaust survivor recalls his experiences as a young boy after the nazi's occupied his hometown in czechoslovakia. he talks about his deportation to the auschwitz concentration camp. his friendship with a fellow prisoner, and a last-minute maneuver by a man who spared his life. this event was part of the greensburg immunity high school program in greensburg indiana. it's about an hour and 15 minutes. >> will come to greensburg community high school goddard auditorium. we are flattered to have everyone here for our annual program. we are excited about this year's guest. i would like to welcome john -- to thehe stage who stage to begin our program today. >> good morning. 2018 aber 19, philadelphia newspaper ran an opinion article entitled why we need holocaust education now more than ever. according to the anti-defamation league, anti-semitic incidents 2016 andly 60% between 2017. the largest single jump the organization has ever recorded. understanding how and why the holocaust occurred helps to demonstrate not only the horrors that humans are capable of in conditions conditions but also the hope

and we go from a protest about the invasion of czechoslovakia -- use see, it's the anti-authoritarianism that we're opposed to. that great movement that we opposed. and the -- also the vietnam march. because when the anti-vietnam demonstrations, when we crossed the border to go to dublin, we ended up and join wanted up with the irish students at the first anti-vietnam march. so i'm trying to stress to you the detail of the student movement, of its scope, of the latitude. and i am -- while being very critical of my own role in things, i'm also very aware that it's a core, it's absolutely core. and that everything that we're still grappling with came into being in those days. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you, anne. anne, as i said earlier, was a schoolgirl in those early marches. the same cannot be said for austin. austin at that stage was a public -- full-time member of parliament. he'd been the youngest member of parliament in the northern ireland parliament for around the mid '60s. he went on to be one of the founder members of the civil rights movement just as he's on the 50th anni

four months later, he was president of czechoslovakia. i spent the summer of 1990, traveling across south africa, in the months after nelson mandela walked out of prison and into history. in 1991, i traveled throughout the soviet union, as that country, too, suddenly became alive to change. in the newspaper series i wrote, even the title spoke to what a momentous hopeful time that was. beyond apartheid on south africa, and for the soviet union, awakenings. so in this present dark moment, it's worth noting that history turns and can turn again. especially when individual citizens stand in defense of their rights, and of the institutions essential to keeping democracy strong. it is also my honor today to introduce three eyewitnesses who will share their stories of living in democracies and the process of betrayal and collapse. one of them, retired army colonel frank cohn was a 13-year-old who got out of nazi germany just days before the attacks on jewish families and businesses like his. five years older, he was a soldier in the battle of t

as i sat there in a brand-new african democracy, i read the speech of the newly democratic czechoslovakia, just delivered before joined session of congress in the house chamber. and spent much of the previous decade in a communist dungeon and his last arrest had been mere months before and astonished to find himself president of anything much less the country of his oppressors. i sat in africa and a love letter to america, literary and inspiring. i was overcome by his words. there's nothing like the sensation of someone who's stripped of everything but his dignity reflecting the ideals of your own country back at you in such a way that you see them more clearly than ever before, maybe for the first time. in some ways that man knows your country better than you know it your self. i can only imagine how surreal it must've felt as he stood before the entire congress, the president, the cabinet, diplomatic corps, joint chiefs of staff assembled before him, the vice president and speaker of the house behind him standing in a standing ovation, deep respect from the oldest democracy to the newes

defected from czechoslovakia to the west. he arrived in london towards the end of 1969. the reason he deflected was the same reason so enraged. cannot believe this happened to his country. one of the thing they were routinely asked when they arrived in the west, is there anybody else like you? similarly at odds with the regime. for the first time, his name was flagged up in british files. he returned to moscow, he spent another three years in moscow. he was redeployed to denmark. now we are in 1972. the reason i show you this photograph is ny six was was waiting for him. the head of the mi six station, a man called called richard, a particularly wonderful figure, he is is really 19 now, one of those very posh, well met englishmen that slapped you on the back all the time. appear to be a lot more stupid than he really was. a fermentable intelligence officer. playing badminton one day. he began a very elaborate courtship. it went on for about a year where they would meet okay shall he, they would discuss doing. it was so subtle this approach that at one point had to note s

that the play wright and new president -- playwright and new president of the newly democratic czechoslovakia had just delivered before a joint session of the united states congress. just across the way here in the house chamber. pavel, who had spent much of the previous decade in a communist dungeon and whose last arrest as a dissident had been mere months before, was quite astonished to find himself president of anything, much less the country of his oppressors. i sat there in africa and read havel's speech. a love letter to america. literary and inspiring. i was overcome by his words. there is nothing quite like a sensation of having someone who has been stripped of everything but his dignity reflecting the ideals of your own country back at you in such a way that you see them more clearly than ever before and maybe for the first time. in some ways, that man knows your country better than you know it yourself. i can only imagine how surreal it must have been felt for havel as he stood before the entire congress, the president, his cabinet, diplomatic corps, joint chiefs ofma staff assemble

and i have a question about he can cose -- the czechoslovakia. that really upset the whole dissolution of the austrian empire. >> i'll take that one again. i actually think if you read the negotiations at paris, it is really difficult to make the argument that wilson was anything but the most accomplished negotiator there. it is -- it is very easy to look back on -- let me start even further back. wilson's greatst mistake from february 1918 up until the end of the war to refuse to clarify his post war plans. he had good reasons for it. he knew that any statement he made would -- while he was distracted just be a banner out here for republicans -- his republican opposition to take potshots at. he wanted to hold his cards close to his vest. his other reason was that he recognized the shape of the settlement and reflect the ground at the armistice. and in some ways your czechoslovakia example is a case in point. that was a defacto situation that was brought to him. unfortunately, what that allowed people all around europe to do is invest their own i

in august 1961, the soviet tanks rolled into czechoslovakia to crush the progress spring. this is a photograph of a loan protector in central square. the image reminds me of that single protector in tianmen square against the tanks. oleg was absolutely furious. he took it as a personal affront that this had taken place and he did something that in hindsight was very brave and quite stupid. he went to a telephone in the soviet embassy that he knew was bugged by the television service and placed a telephone call to his home where his wife was, he had married a fellow kgb officer. their marriage was not a happy one. he called her at home knowing their home telephone was also bugged and he delivered a furious harangue about what has happened, about what he described as the criminal conspiracy to crush the progress spring, knowing or hoping this would be picked up by the television service was the problem with his plan is it was missed by the danish intelligence service for reasons we've never been able to work out. they recorded all these telephone conversation but missed this

western countries think that he read how delete say the debris doctrine defending the invasion of czechoslovakia twenty first of august one isn't at once and that was why he did. i think that putin felt an infringement the nato enlargement again towards the east infringed russia however yes i do think that the russians panicked because i was in kiev i broke off my coverage should go limp again since or she going to t. of the bloodbath ninety people were killed by the. don't know at this point who actually was there i saw where the snipers one day while on the roof of the government and on. front of the february two thousand and fourteen i counted fifty people killed in front of the number of on the highway was i'm in love with and i was also there. did you count fifty people dead in front of your camera i did then the mood changed and your crane. pretty a prior to this the majority of the your training in stay were against nato membership after this killing ninety people killed in one way it switched really don't know who send those snipers there and who orders they were well i think even in ukr

it was called the check family camp, because most of us are from czechoslovakia, and historically, if this would have been eight months before, or a year before, we, most of us, the children, the grandparents, and the elderly, would have gone from that platform, from this platform, directly into the gas chamber. so we would have been killed instantly upon arrival. but because the germans were concerned about the international red cross coming in, and by the way, we found this out after the war, this is nothing, we didn't know this, when this was happening, so because they set up this czech family camp, to be able to show the international red cross that jus are being treated well, that they are alive, that there are whole families that are being kept together, they set this up, so this is why we did not go into the gas chamber from the platform, but we went directly into the czech family camp. now, in this czech family camp, there was already about 5,000 people there that arrived in september, that previous september. that's when the camp was set up. so four months before we got there

around 10,000 jewish children from germany, austria and occupied parts of czechoslovakia were broughtn on december the 2nd, 1938. they were transported out of europe when it became clear after kristallnacht and other pogroms thatjews were no longer safe. parents, desperate to save their children's lives, began thinking of ways to get them out. british authorities agreed to allow unspecified numbers of children under the age of 17 to enter the country. younger children were placed with families, and those older than 16 were given help to find jobs. the transports were halted in 1940, a day the netherlands surrendered to the nazis. almost none of the children ever saw their families again. they might‘ve been saved, but most of their parents perished in nazi concentration camps. it's thought that there are about 1,000 survivors still alive today in their 80s or 90s. an organisation representing jewish victims of nazi persecution said the survivors will now receive a small measure ofjustice, but nothing would ever make up for what they lost. gail maclellan, bbc news. musicians in the germ

world war that we should not allow an aggressor to get away with attacking a little country, czechoslovakia, he came known in the first years of the world war as the munich analogy. it was a correct lesson. >> i would like to take the privilege of the presenter, the host privilege for a moment. >> i object. [laughter] >> you made a moral argument, very provocative for wars of attrition. let me bring it away from the moral context for a moment. that wars of attrition, we can't really talk about them because it's a political dead end? president ofne any the united states telling folks at the beginning of world war i -- at the beginning of any war that this is going to kill millions of us, and we hope in the end for the last man standing. >> it's impossible. that's why we are in a trap. we're trapped in the political impulse -- we trapped, and the political impulse is to provide weapon systems and trading systems to prevent the war, and then we make mistakes and get one anyway, or will allow us to win it in short order. in the american case it has been -- delusion of i don't think there's any

about buying my accordion i forgot to give you the punch line which is about this accordion from czechoslovakia it is a beautiful instrument i just wish i could play it. what i'm supposed to make my own accordion? the logical production of protectionism of any sort is okay let's protect illinois with their barriers or chicago or my own house then i will have plenty of jobs. so yes, cooperation. here is another version of that point you will always here enterprise is called nonprofit enterprises identified as nonprofit that there is something virtuous a presumption of virtue unless it's called the heritage foundation of a nonprofit institution but come on. this system of markets is the most altruistic ever designed. people do work for each other incessantly i get very annoyed of the current talking about admiring military people for military service they do it on msnbc as much as fox news. thank you for your service. what are you talking about? somebody who makes toothbrushes is doing you a service. stop it. >> we don't want to ignore the left.

during the period in the collapse of the soviet union it wasn't without working directly such as czechoslovakia or for that matter from south africa. it was a direct engagement with the forces of change, not limited to dialogue with its representatives and hoping to get answers to the problems from people that are part of the problem can also be part of the solution. so these are the areas where we need to go beyond just the analysis of the topography of where people are today. i hope that this will be taken into account by the decisions of foreign governments are making today and how we cope with the situation as we are facing more and more and how everybody is holding their breath and what can happen next. if we don't work the problem, it is a recipe for disaster. >> the situation seems very optimistic. you portray iran as a condition. what is different than what you see now first beneficiaries of the public and then the government ablthe governmentablo why do you think the government is facing a state of crisis in the face of opposition? >> the situation in iran suggesting i it is not existe

[laughter] >> okay i think it was neville chamberlain who said something very similar about czechoslovakia in the british people. .. >> if you recognize that to that commitment to the allies to the security of the united states and prosperity of the united states you don't want that to happen and this is where buchanan doesn't get it as long as the support doesn't provide. meaning weapons and where moscow has to worry about defense. and the south china sea give me a break. the south china sea has a very large percentage of global trade and to dominate the south china sea and how do we do that? >> we would not publish that article let's just put it that way. so to save around one goes to russia and the crisis do you agree with that assessment did russia come out on top? >> it is not round one but it is around one it is a continuation of the effort to influence ukraine for sure with the tactical advantages and to occupy crimea is a huge move. and with that political agenda so tactically in crimea though had that disadvantage for those sanctions to be imposed to make the arguments by referenc

not letting them come in to participate in the missile defense system they were going to put in czechoslovakia they said no, that defense is designed against the russian deterrent. we said no, no, this is against iran. they said we want to come in, we will pay our share. we said no. >> and that's something we should have let them do. >> we should have. >> tom, you watched these guys sort of transform the republican party both having to navigate it and try to transform it. what do you make of george h.w. bush's place in the republican party versus what you saw, say, at the beginning of reagan to where we are today? >> much more appreciated today than he was at that time. he played it so skiflfully. he represented the old republican party, new englander who moved to texas but helped make the republican party a part of texas politics as well. in fact when he went to richard nixon's funeral, he gave nixon credit for coming to texas to try to help build that up so he expanded it. and then he served in all of those roles. people forget he was an ambassador to china, he ran the cia under very difficu

and then you have centrist populism, like the leader of czechoslovakia that's really concerned about corruption. they don't have an overarching critique of the systems economically, there's a standard defense of the nation, but rather they think that both of these left and right have used this and they need to come in and clean it up. we see all three of those playing into today's politics. not a separate's centrist populist movement, but cleaning up the swamp is that expression of we are not trying to -- we are mainly concerned about insiders dealing without concern about migration or billionaires. >> most populist are really angry, or they tend to be angry. i'm curious to your you talk about centrist populist, because i don't usually think of centrist as the angry people, i don't know much about happening in the czech republic. havevery difficult not to consent of the people and say you know what the people want, and you're going to mobilize them. ,hat makes a populist i think is that you believe that the people must be mobilized against --. luckily in this country, there has never

world war that we should not allow an aggressor to get away with attacking a little country, czechoslovakia came known in the first war of excess year of the cold war as the unit analogy or the dominoes theory. and it got us into both korea and that that's just vietnam. >> i would like to take the privilege of the presenters and i want to ask you a question if you don't mind. >> i can't object. >> or you don't get fed. [ laughter ] >> you made a moral argument which i thought was provocative for war serve attrition. but let me bring it away from the moral context for moment. isn't it true cathat wars of attrition we can't really talk about because it's a political dated? can you imagine any president of the united states telling folks at the beginning of world war one or anywhere that it's going to kill millions of us and at the end we hope we are the last man standing? >> it's politically impossible. and that is why we are in a trap. we are trapped in the political impulse, if you promise weapon systems policies that will either prevent the war and we make mistakes and we get one anyway, o

and i bought this accordion from czechoslovakia. it's a beautiful instrument just wish that i could play it. so i have to make my own accordion? in fact, the logical reduction of protectionism of any sort is all right, let's protect illinois. all right, chicago. all right, printers row. all right, my own house. and then i will have plenty of jobs. so yes, cooperation. here is another version of that point. you'll always hear enterprise called well, non-private enterprises always identified as being nonprofit. it is not that it is something especially virtuous peter presumption of virtue unless they are called the heritage foundation. in nonprofit institutions, but come on, this system of markets is the most altruistic ever designed. people do work for each other incessantly. i get very annoyed. what's become the current about admiring people for their military service and they do it on msnbc as well as fox news. thank you for your service. what are you talking about? someone who makes toothbrushes is doing a service. stop it! [laugh

the back to reagan, jeff sanders, you have spain, france, then you have a central populism like czechoslovakia that is concerned about corruption. they don't have an overarching critique of the systems economic, they don't have they don't have a standard defense of the nation but rather they would think that both of these left and right have used the system to enrich themselves and they come in to clean up. they have these three populist and i think we've see three of these, in the swamp. that is not a centric but cleaning up this one is that expression of we are not trying to -- we are mainly concerned about insiders or concerned about migration. >> both are angry. at least they tend to be angry whether they are or not. and i am curious to hear your thoughts about census populace. i don't know about what's happening in the czech republic but it is true that in some nations it's difficult not to have a concept of the people but you know what people want, they are on your side and you can mobilize. i think you believe that people must be mobilized against some and in this country with the accep

and then you have centrist populism, like the leader of czechoslovakia, that's really concerned about corruption. they don't have an overarching critique of the systems economically, they don't have a standard defense of the nation, but rather they think that both of these left and right have used this to enrich themselves, and they need to come in and clean it up. globally we have those three populism's, and i think we see all three in today's politics. the swamp, that's not a separate centrist populist movement, but cleaning up the swamp is that expression of we are mainly concerned about insiders dealing, not about migration or billionaires. populists are really angry, or pretend to be angry. curious to hear you talk about centrist populist, because i don't usually think of centrist as the angry people, i don't know much about happening in the czech republic. in democratic nations, it's very difficult not to have consent of the people and say you know what the people want, and you're going to mobilize them. that's part of what democratic policy is about. what makes a populist i thi

without working directly with movement such as solidarity, such as ndividual -- with individuals in czechoslovakia. it was a direct engagement with the forces of change. not limited dialogue only with the regime and its representatives. and hoping you can get answers to the problem from people that are part of the problem as opposed to people that can be part of the solution. these are the areas where we need to go beyond just analysis of, you know, topography of iran and where people are today. there is a constructive way and i hope this will be taken into account by decisions that reign governments are making to how they cope with the situation as they are facing more and more implosion by the regime. however, everybody is holding their breath. what can happen next? if we don't address it, if we don't work the problem, it's a recipe for disaster. mehdi: let me come back to the role of the foreign countries. the picture you provided about the situation in iran seems very optimistic. think you portray iran as if iran is in a prerevolution condition. why is the difference within what we see now in

i believe it was neville chamberlain who said something very similar about czechoslovakia and the british people. let's understand, putin is no hitler in terms of the danger he represents for the evil he represents. he nonetheless is a challenge of a similar kind it is challenging the rules of international order. let's remember that the first nato summit following russian aggression in ukraine in wales. today the summit ended, the kremlin kidnapped a counterintelligence officer from estonia. what they were saying when they did that with you in the baltics are not safe. nato is not going to protect you. and i predict in moscow was about to send it tanks into lazio or estonia, but i'm not ruling out russian bad behavior they are designed to be stabilized to the eventual detriment of nato. if you recognize that to the allies and if you recognize how important nato with to the security of the united states and the prosperity of the united states, you don't want that to happen. the place to stop them or we have no commitment to put our soldiers in harms way is in donbass. as long as it provid
