Rusk Defines Berlin Wall as an affront to dignity
Secretary of State Dean Rusk viewed the Berlin Wall as an affront to human dignity during a 27 hour visit to West Berlin. He pledged to explore further talks with the Soviet Union to find a basis for negotiating Berlin's future and said it will be broken down one day. He toured Potsdamer Platz and the Brandenburg Gate, observing the antitank barrier and street scenes as East German police reportedly fired at escape attempts. Rusk sent greetings from President Kennedy to Mayor Willy Brandt and thanked American allies for freedom in the city.
