Berlin und die Welt hören die Freiheitsglocke
Die Weihe der Freiheitsglocke in Berlin, am "Tag der Vereinten Nationen", wurde zu einer machtvollen Kundgebung der ganzen freien Welt. Fast eine halbe Million Berliner füllten den Platz und die Strassen vor dem Schöneberger Rathaus. Mehr als 2.000 Rundfunkstationen übertrugen den Festakt in alle Teile der Welt. General Taylor, der amerikanische Stadtkommandant von Berlin, begrüsste die Gäste: Hervorragende Persönlichkeiten aus fast 30 Nationen, Bundeskanzler Dr. Adenauer und zahlreiche Minister der westdeutschen Bundesregierung.
Der amerikanische Hohe Kommissar McCloy sagte: "Berlin ist eine Stadt, aus deren Ruinen ein neuer Geist auferstanden ist. Berlin ist ein Symbol für die Freiheit geworden."
Dann sprach Oberbürgermeister Reuter zu den Berlinern und zu den Verbündeten dieser Stadt aus der westlichen Welt:
(Originalton: "Der Klang dieser unserer Glocke wird nicht nur in Berlin und in ganz Deutschland gehört werden, er wird nicht nur über den Ozean zu dem grossen amerikanischen Volke dringen, der Klang dieser Glocke wird auch nach Osten hin deutlich vernehmbar sein.")
General Clay verlas in seiner Ansprache den Wortlaut der Erklärung, die Millionen von Amerikanern unterschrieben und mit der Freiheitsglocke nach Berlin gesandt haben. Die Erklärung lautet:
"Ich glaube, dass allen Menschen das gleiche Recht auf Freiheit von Gott gegeben wurde. Ich verspreche, der Aggression und der Tyrannei Widerstand zu leisten, auf dass diese Welt die Wiedergeburt der Freiheit erleben möge."
(Originalton:" It is a deep reverence that we dedicate the World Freedom Bell to-day. We dedicated it to the eternal honour of all those who have given their lives in the course of freedom.")
Dann läutete General Clay, der erste Repräsentant des Kreuzzuges für die Freiheit, die neue Glocke ein. Berlin hörte ihren Ruf - und mit ihm die ganze Welt.

The Freedom Bell
174 years ago in Philadelphia the Liberty Bell proclaimed the freedom and independence of the United States of America. Today a new Freedom Bell rings in Berlin, a symbol of the Crusade for Freedom.
The former Military Governor for Germany, General Clay, heads this greast movement for freedom and peace. Millions of Americans have signed their names on the scrolls of the Crusade, and this affirmed their readiness to fight tyranny whenever and wherever necessary.
General Eisenhower and many other famous personalities in the USA are leaders in this demonstration for freedom:
" ... pledge to resist aggression and tyranny wherever they appear. The words express what is in all our hearts. Your signature will be a blow for liberty."
The bell was cast in England. Brought to America, it was shown in all 48 states. Everywhere crowds gathered to sign the lists which accompanied the bell. It was a triumphal procession, from New York to Los Angeles, from San Francisco to Chicago. This is one of the demonstrations -- in Hollywood.
After its tour of the States the bell was sent over the ocean to Germany. This ship, which carried thousands of refugees from the terrors of the East to safety in the United States, brought this symbol of freedom from America to Europe.
From Bremerhaven the bell was transported to Berlin. General Clay arrives in Germany to attend the ceremonies.
The Freedom Bell crossed the East Zone in a sealed American military train. West Berlin, the only free city behind the Iron Curtain of Communism, awaited the event with keen interest. The first prominent Berliners greet the bell: Oberburgomaster Reuter and Frau Louise Schroeder.
The 10-ton bell was then hoisted up the tower of Schoeneberg City Hall. The inscription is a message from the New World to the Old: May The World Under God Have a New Birth of Freedom! The bell will ring for the first time on the 5th anniversary of the United Nations.
Almost half a million Berliners gathered before the City Hall and in the surrounding streets. And millions of people all over the world, concerned with the fate of this city, listened to the ceremonies over the radio.
The American Commandent in Berlin, Major General Taylor, greeted the guests from 30 nations:
"We are honored by the presence of the Chancellor of the German Federal Republic, Dr. Adenauer, and many members of his government. ... there is one whose name in history will be forever linked with Berlin -- General Lucius D. Clay."
American High Commissioner McCloy in his speech reminded the audience of Berlin's fight for freedom: "Berlin has the right to be given custody of this Freedom Bell -- Berlin, which has lived through tyranny and destruction. But a new spirit now rises from Berlin's ruins -- and new hope, which resists oppression. Berlin has become a symbol for freedom because of her stand during the Communist Blockade ... the effort to starve millions of human beings into political submission."
The High Commissioner continued:
"Well-remembered pictures appear again -- concentration camps, forced labor, propaganda, marching youth. The words "Peace" and "Freedom" are being misused again. There is only one foundation stone upon which peace and unity can be built, and that is freedom for the individual in a free state."
Oberburgomaster Reuter then spoke to the Berliners and their friends from the Western world:
"... The Freedom Bell arrived to send its message from our City Hall to other countries. We called on the rest of the world for help on the 9th of September, 1948, and we asked them not to give up this city. And they answered our call. With the help given her, Berlin was able to defeat the attempt to starve 2 million people. Today the world presents us with the Freedom Bell -- a gift we accept proudly. The sound of this bell -- our bell -- will not be heard in Berlin and Germany alone, but will cross the ocean to the great American people, and will also be heard clearly in the East."
General Clay, during his speech, read the declaration which was signed by millions of Americans, and sent to Berlin with the bell:
"I believe in the sacredness and dignity of the individual.
I believe that all men have the right for freedom, equally, from God.
I pledge to resist agression and tyranny wherever they appear on earth, that this world, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."
Then General Clay, representing this Crusade for Freedom, pressed the button which started the bell.
2,000 radio stations broadeast the sound of the bell to every quarter of the world.
The Freedom Bell is ringing -- may its message never die. The End

Die "Glocke der Freiheit" Symbol eines Kreuzzuges

Welt im Film zeigt Geschichte und Weihe der Berliner Freiheitsglocke
Vor 174 Jahren verkündete die Freiheitsglocke von Philadelphia die Unabhängigkeit der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Heute ertönt in Berlin der eherne Ruf einer neuen "Glocke der Freiheit". Sie ist ein Symbol der amerikanischen "Crusade for Freedom", des Kreuzzuges für die Freiheit.
General Clay, der ehemalige Militärgouverneur für Deutschland ist der Begründer dieser grossen Aktion für Freiheit und Frieden in aller Welt. Millionen Amerikaner haben sich in die Namenslisten des Kreuzzuges eingetragen. Sie bestätigen damit ihre Bereitschaft, gegen die Tyrannei zu kämpfen, wo immer sie auftreten möge.
General Eisenhower und viele andere prominente Persönlichkeiten der USA sind die Förderer dieser Freiheitskundgebung.
(Originalton: "pledges to resist aggression and defeat wherever they appear. Its words express what is in all our hearts. Your signature on it will be a vote for liberty.")
Die Glocke wurde in England gegossen und in einer Rundreise durch alle 48 Staaten der USA geführt. Überall kamen Menschen aller Volksschichten zusammen, um die Freiheitslisten zu unterzeichnen, die das eherne Symbol dieses Kreuzzuges begleiten.
Ein Triumphzug von New York bis Los Angeles und von San Franscisco bis Chicago. Wie hier in der Filmstadt von Hollywood, so fanden überall Kundgebungen zu diesem Anlass statt.
Dann kam die Glocke über den Atlantik nach Deutschland. Ein Schiff, das in den letzten Jahren viele Tausende von Flüchtlingen aus dem Terror Osteuropas nach den USA gebracht hatte, brachte nun das Freiheits-Symbol aus Amerika nach Europa. Von Bremerhaven ging es nach Berlin. General Clay traf in Deutschland ein, um an der feierlichen Glockenweihe teilzunehmen. In dem geschlossenen Waggon eines amerikanishen Militärzuges hatte die Freiheitsglocke die Ostzone durchquert. West-Berlin, die einzige freie Stadt hinter dem Eisernen Vorhang des Kommunismus, stand in Erwartung des grossen einmaligen Ereignisses. Die ersten Berliner begrüssten das weitgereiste Freiheitssymbol: Oberbürgermeister Reuter und Frau Louise Schröder. Dann wurde die 10 Tonnen schwere Glocke auf den Turm des Schöneberger Rathauses gezogen. Ihre Inschrift ist eine Botschaft der Neuen an die Alte Welt: "Möge diese Welt durch Gott einer Auferstehung der Freiheit entgegengehen." Am 5. Jahrestag der Vereinten Nationen erklang zum ersten Mal der Ruf der Freiheitsglocke von Berlin. Fast eine halbe Million Berliner füllten den Platz und die Strassen vor dem Rathaus der Westsektoren.
Und Millionen von Menschen in aller Welt, mit dem Schicksal dieser Stadt verbunden, erlebten an den Lautsprechern die bedeutungsvolle Weihe mit. General Taylor, der amerikanische Stadtkommandant von Berlin, begrüsste die Gäste, hervorragende Persönlichkeiten aus 30 Nationen:
(Originalton: "We are honoured by the presence of the Chancellor of the German Federal Republic Dr. Adenauer accompagnied by many ministers of his government ...") Er begrüsste besonders General Clay, dessen Name für immer mit der Geschichte Berlins verbunden sein wird.
(Originalton: "... there is one whose name in history will be forever linked with Berlin: General Lucius D. Clay.")
Der amerikanische Hohe Kommissar McCloy gedachte des Freiheitskampfes der Bevölkerung von Berlin. Er sagte:
"Mit Recht wird gerade Berlin die Obhut dieser Glocke anvertraut. Diese Stadt hat die Tyrannei erlebt und sie ist zerstört worden. Aber heute ist Berlin eine Stadt, aus deren Ruinen ein neuer Geist auferstanden ist und ein neuer Mut, welcher der Unterdrückung widersteht. Weil Berlin sich gegen die kommunistische Blockade gewehrt und die schändlichen Bemühungen, Millionen Menschen auszuhungern, vereitelt hat, ist diese Stadt ein Symbol für die Freiheit geworden."
(Originalton: "... effort to starve millions of human beeings into political submission, it has become a city symbolic of freedom ...")
Weiter sagte der Hohe Kommissar: "Heute sehen wir altbekannte Bilder wieder. Konzentrationslager, Zwangsarbeit, Propaganda-Machenschaften und marschierende Jugend. Wiederum werden die Worte Frieden und Freiheit missbraucht. Es gibt nur ein Fundament, auf dem Frieden und Freiheit aufgebaut werden können - und das ist die Freiheit des Individuums in einem freien Staat."
(Originalton: "Just as the Nazis failed 5 year ago. There is only one foundation stone upon which peace and unity can be built and this is freedom.")
Dann sprach Oberbürgermeister Reuter zu den Berlinern und zu den Verbündeten dieser Stadt aus der westlichen Welt:
(Originalton: "... ist heute die Freiheitsglocke nach langer Wanderung zu uns Berlinern gekommen, um vom Turm unseres Rathauses ihren Klang in alle Länder zu tragen. Es war am 9. September 1948, als wir in unserer grössten Not die Welt gerufen haben, sie um Hilfe baten und sie beschweren, diese Stadt nicht im Stich zu lassen. Unser Ruf ist gehört worden. Berlin hat dank der Hilfe, die uns zuteil wurde, den Versuch, 2 Millionen zu erdrosseln, abwehren können. Wir sind eine freie Stadt geblieben. Heute kommt die Welt zu uns mit einer Gabe, die wir mit Stolz als eine Anerkennung unseres Kampfes empfangen. Der Klang dieser unserer Glocke wird nicht nur in Berlin und in ganz Deutschland gehört werden. Er wird nicht nur über den Ozean zu dem grossen amerikanischen Volke dringen, der Klang dieser Glocke wird auch nach Osten hin deutlich vernehmbar sein.")
General Clay verlas in seiner Ansprache den Wortlaut der Erklärung, die Millionen von Amerikanern unterschrieben und mit der Glocke nach Berlin gesandt haben. Die Erklärung lautet: "Ich glaube an die Unantastbarkeit und an die Würde des einzelnen Menschen. Ich glaube, dass allen Menschen das gleiche Recht auf Freiheit von Gott gegeben wurde. Ich verspreche, der Aggression und der Tyrannei Widerstand zu leisten, wo immer sie auf Erden auftreten möge, auf dass diese Welt im Namen Gottes die Wiedergeburt der Freiheit erleben möge."
(Originalton: "... in the secretness and dignity of the individual. I belive that all men have the right to freedom equally from God. I pledge to resist aggression and tyranny wherever they appear on earth that this world under God shall have a new birth of freedom.")
Dann läutete General Clay, der erste Repräsentant des Kreuzzuges für die Freiheit, die neue Glocke ein.
2.000 Rundfunkstationen übertrugen ihren ehernen Ruf in alle Teile der Welt.
Die "Glocke der Freiheit" hat begonnen zu schlagen und ihr Ruf wird nicht mehr verstummen.
