Just the night before. I had made a trip in an overnight sleeper on a train. traveling from Frankfurt to West Berlin. But by far the greatest impression made upon me then was coming face to face for the first time with the difference between democracy and totalitarianism. between freedom and communism. Shortly after arriving in West Berlin. I went to a large refugee center. which was operated there by the United States Army to receive the thousands of refugees fleeing communism in East Germany. Poland. and Czechoslovakia. During my time there. that number reached over 3.000 persons a week.
