CANADAPRIME MINISTER · PREMIER MINISTREPierre Elliott TrudeauOttawa, 1977.I am happy to extend my greetings and best wishes to the Association of Survivors of Nazi Oppression on the occasion of their Thirty-Second Anniversary celebrations.Those who, together or singly, endure and survive a period in history fraught with oppression and fear share a strong and lasting bond. Memories of tragedies borne and heroism exacted by events are the ties that bind you together. As a group, the insights and experiences which you can draw from your members provide Canada with the leadership and judgement needed by all countries who are not to fall into the easy trap of totalitarianism. I strongly commend you for your work.cjhn.caRead automatically; may contain mistakes.
