  • 50Th Anniversary of Kennedy's Berlin Speech: Berlin Meets Washington
    50th Anniversary of Kennedy's Berlin Speech: Berlin Meets Washington Berlin/Washington, June 25, 2013 "Ich bin ein Berliner". These are the words most remembered from the famous speech given by President John F. Kennedy in Berlin 50 years ago on June 26, 1963. To commemorate this important anniversary, the German capital will be in Washington on June 26–27, 2013 to reintroduce itself to the people of America. President Barack Obama gave a speech at the Brandenburg Gate a week ago on June 19 during his visit to Berlin, citing Kennedy's significant words. The focus of the Washington trip is not only to commemorate Kennedy, but also to present Berlin as a hub for tourism and conventions in the heart of Europe, and as Europe's center of innovation. The delegation representing the city of Berlin on the Washington trip includes the Senator for the Interior Affairs and Mayor Frank Henkel and the CEO of visitBerlin, Burkhard Kieker. Frank Henkel, Senator for the Interior Affairs, Sports and Mayor, remarks: "For me, an important aim of this trip to Washington is to honor the great President John F. Kennedy and to remember his legendary speech in Berlin 50 years ago. With his visit to our divided city and his commitment, Kennedy was making much more than just a polite gesture. His words demonstrated an unprecedented level of respect for the people of West and East Berlin's unfaltering desire to be free. We Berliners in particular have a lot to thank the Americans for. The foundations of our nations' deep and steadfast friendship can be found in Berlin and were laid by President Kennedy." "Berlin owes many thanks to John F.

KENNEDYAND BERLIN Nicholas Labinski Marquette University, 2011 This paper examines John F. Kennedy’s rhetoric concerning the Berlin Crisis (1961-1963). Three major speeches are analyzed: Kennedy’s Radio and Television Report to the American People on the Berlin Crisis , the Address at Rudolph Wilde Platz and the Address at the Free University. The study interrogates the rhetorical strategies implemented by Kennedy in confronting Khrushchev over the explosive situation in Berlin. The paper attempts to answer the following research questions: What is the historical context that helped frame the rhetorical situation Kennedy faced? What rhetorical strategies and tactics did Kennedy employ in these speeches? How might Kennedy's speeches extend our understanding of presidential public address? What is the impact of Kennedy's speeches on U.S. German relations and the development of U.S. and German Policy? What implications might these speeches have for the study and execution of presidential power and international diplomacy? Using a historical-rhetorical methodology that incorporates the historical circumstances surrounding the crisis into the analysis, this examination of Kennedy’s rhetoric reveals his evolution concerning Berlin and his Cold War strategy.

  • Ich Bin Ein Berliner Speech by US President John F. Kennedy
    Ich bin ein Berliner Speech by US President John F. Kennedy 26 June 1963 I am proud to come to this city as the guest of your distinguished Mayor, who has symbolized throughout the world the fighting spirit of West Berlin. And I am proud to visit the Federal Republic with your distinguished Chancellor who for so many years has committed Germany to democracy and freedom and progress, and to come here in the company of my fellow American, General Clay, who has been in this city during its great moments of crisis and will come again if ever needed. Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was "civis Romanus sum." Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner." I appreciate my interpreter translating my German! There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin. There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. And there are some who say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communists. Let them come to Berlin. And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. Lasst sie nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin.

  • Kennedy in Berlin Andreas W
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-67497-3 - Kennedy in Berlin Andreas W. Daum Frontmatter More information Kennedy in Berlin Kennedy in Berlin examines one of the most spectacular political events of the twenti- eth century. This book tells the story of the enthusiastically celebrated visit that U.S. president John F. Kennedy paid to Berlin,the “frontline city of the Cold War,”in June 1963. The president’s tour triggered the greatest political happening in German history and resonated around the world,not least on account of Kennedy’s famous declaration – “Ich bin ein Berliner.” Andreas W. Daum sets Kennedy’s visit against the background of the special relationship that had developed between the United States and West Berlin in the wake of World War II. “America’s Berlin” became the place for staging politics as theatrical performance. Political performances helped create a sense of transatlantic community and emotional closeness between the United States and Germany that has now itself become history. Kennedy in Berlin is an innovative contribution to the study of transatlantic relations,the Cold War, and the conduct of diplomacy in the age of mass media. Using a broad range of sources,this book sheds new light on the interplay between politics and culture in the modern era. Andreas W. Daum is a professor of modern history at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He has taught at the University of Munich,where he earned his doctorate,and has been a Research Fellow at the German Historical Institute, Washington,D.C.,and a John F.

  • Ich Bin Ein Berliner: Beyond Jelly Doughnuts DEBRA PARCELL
    Ich Bin ein Berliner: Beyond Jelly Doughnuts DEBRA PARCELL Abstract Delivered in the midst of the Cold Wa.r; John F. Kennedy's brief speech in front of the Berlin Wall proclaimed solidarity with the German people._Although the final words of the speech, "!ch bin ein Berliner", could theoretically have been interpreted to mean "I am a jelly dough­ nut", the crowds in attendance understood precisely his meaning. This paper will examine the background of the speech, Kennedy's reaction to the Berlin wall, and the authenticity of his sentiments, while discrediting the myth of misinterpretation. The significance of this speech lies in providing credibility with Berliners that would allow Kennedy to argue for coex­ istence with the Communists, and defusing potentially volatile East-West animosities, rather than debate over German syntax and jelly doughnuts. "For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder." This line from Paul's second letter to the church at Corinth is used as a curious opening line in der Spiegel's June 26, 1963 article on JFK's recent visit to Germany and his impassioned speech in Berlin. Delivered by Kenne­ dy in the midst of the Cold War as thousands of Germans thronged the streets to listen, it pro­ claimed solidarity with the German people as he stated, "all free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin ..
