Its the records of the highest of the self sacrifice of the principles of some of which faded. Here are the records of the suffering and the supreme sacrifice and the purpose of this library is to promote peace and have freedom among men. 100 years ago Herbert Hoover was a part of the paris peace talks and was offering 50,000 dollars which in todays world is almost about 1 Million Dollars and collected material and mr. Hoover at a food relief to belgium for something called the relief fund and the American Relief administration which was during world war one after world war one and the weapons of those administrations would be had the collections be around and was the genesis which was still continuing dynamically and prosperity and the safeguards. The Hoover Institution has 100 volumes of the 6000 collections and other policy related topics in the 24 centuries. Their experts chose across section of artifacts. Here we have two items and this book inaudible which means secret in german is prepared for the invasion and they listed the names of 2000 people who had their addresses and what they did and they were just listed as jew and in this case freud was listed as someone who has arrested so they had a very systematic plan for arresting people who they thought were their enemies. Here, this is an xray of hitler skull, we have hitlers medical records, after the war the americans went through germany to study and understand how this regime was formed, and how it operated. With some of the records came xrays. Of hitler skull. This is not after his death, these were done by nazi doctors. At operations all agree. At or a bomb was placed at the table which hitler was sitting, when it went off it did not kill hitler, but he complained about headaches and ringing it is years for a long time, doctors xrayed him to see if there was any cranial damage. He was believe it or not a vegetarian, you can see his teeth are rotted from cake, he was generally not in great health. We have a few items from our russian and soviet collections. There was a secret if police corps police force, that produced a mug book that the agents carried around, in their pockets, and looked for various communists and revolutionaries in cafes, its quite interesting, after the fall of the service, at that point the ambassador, packed up the collection and shipped it, and said please keep it until i die. In 19 fifties it was opened up, and they could see how the police force looked, and how the activities affected the way the kgb will worked, its one of her most interesting collections. Bulgaria, romania, hungary, a total of 18 Million People lost their freedom after world war ii. There are almost 500 editors, announcers, researchers, monitors, newscasters. , our largest collection by volume, is the Radio Free EuropeRadio Liberty records of broadcast. Radio free europe, and Radio Liberty, were radio broadcast that were intended to influence the soviets towards western ideas and culture. This collection has thousands of broadcasts in dozens of different languages. Its a very large and rich collection. As you can see here it also has a lot of the corporate records. There are wonderful examples of cold war rhetoric and propaganda, as you can see here from the truth dollar campaign. Jazz hands are the same all over the world. We have a deep appreciation for our music, in europe, and as they do in the united states, in europe i had to lead about 20 people in that didnt have tickets, we had to bring them back stage, they didnt have tickets, it wasnt a big place, it wasnt a big space like a stadium. Another interesting fact about radio for europe, is that it really featured jazz, and lots of jazz musicians, there were tons of talented jazz artists that were broadcast stud through radio for europe. Cutting edge and revolutionary, its wonderful to come across these recordings of jazz artists in various stages of their career. Radio for europe and Radio Liberty no longer exist, in their cold war iteration, theyve changed into a voice of america, which sends a broadcast out other nations. The courts have relied exclusively on the 14th amendment for authority of this entire field and specifies that congress should pass a legislation to enforce its provisions. They will take it on himself to revive the issue and the spine needy of that administration. Youre talking about section five of the 14th amendment which is a very murky history and is exactly what was intended and you need the discussion. Im not implying that. Its a way of prefacing the answer of buying a little bit more time laughs one of the most frequently used volumes here at hoover was the Television Show which was a Public Affair show was in the late sixties that was hosted by William Buckley junior and was a very large vocabulary and his guest list for the show was a whos who of the 20th century. He hosted everyone from Ronald Reagan to the dolly llama to as you can see here margaret thatcher. There are 1505 episodes of the show and were in the process of digitizing all of these shows and making them Available Online so people can enjoy and also use for scholarship. Now were looking at a rare photograph and this comes from the william collection. Hes very interesting man who was at the office of Strategic Services and was one of the prosecutors and his job was to put in files of highranking nazis. Hes actually the personal photograph album inaudible who was hitlers foreign minister and the picture show him signing the naughty certificate and then also those pictures you will find stalin. He looks very happy in this picture and is acquiring half of poland from this pact. Its very rare to see them all in one place and they were superstitious about how they were hunted by the circuit police. Here it hoover we have a wonderful collection of the cold war and its very interesting items during the period and its a large oversight scrapbook that documents the life and exploits of mary miller who was a los angeles housewife and recruited by the fbi to infiltrate Economist Party activities in los angeles and was very successful. Her husband happened to be a designer of a commercial artist and made a wonderful scrapbook that followed all of the Media Coverage which revealed that she had been a spy. It has everything from clippings to photographs of her to a letter from Jay Edward Hoover who knew or from a reactivitys and the funny story about her was that it went to film that starred Ronald Reagan. The Hoover Institution was around the collection in the 20th century and i had 150,000 items in it. It had solidarity posters and wanted to draw your attention to this poster here. It was encouraging irishman to join the Armed Services and taking the loose attaining off the irish coast. This is one item that hoover almost came to own. The ship is owned by the hoover archive to have it and off the coast of ireland we havent had to accept it yet for various reasons. Its an raising story about this and we have a piece of the light boats im holding in my hand and washed up on the shore after the ship was sunk where they had civilian victims on the ship where they donated it to us and someday hopes to have where it will stay in the sea as part of our collections. These are two items from modern china and taiwan. We have some photographs from our almost interesting collection and they come from germans who travel in the 1930s and his collection comes from a woman who went fought by Helen Foster Snow and she wrote the star in china and interview now and took pictures when she stayed with him and for those of you dont see the original pictures that went through and had them developed and went through. Next is a quite interesting item, this is the personal diary of general stillwell, who worked in burma and in china. And worked with chain cars check, chain cash ex diary, are still here they did not like each other, he referred him as peanut, and we have the interesting ability to look at both diaries at the same time and see how they spoke at each other, what they were trying to do, and what their ulterior motives were. This is one of my favorite documents we have in the archives here, this is a gentleman called raymond molly, bully was a renowned speech writer, if you look at this document closely, you will see that it is actually a first draft of a speech in which he coined the term a new deal. Ironic, isnt it, that this document is in the collection of hoover, fdr and hoover were not allies, fdr in a landslide beat who were in his reelection campaign. Once the new deal went into play. Molly changed his mind about it, he said he resigned his position at fdr and became friends with hoover. He decided he would just donate his collection to the Hoover Library and archives, not only did he do that, he decided he would annotated it as well, you can see he has written stuff in the margin, its an incredibly valuable historical document. The archives here at hoover have a wealth of material, one of the most wellknown documents related to that is this, which is the original hiroshima. As you can see this, if you look closely, you can see staple marks in the top corners. This was actually hanging in the mess hall, in the morning of the attack, this is how the pilots knew that today was the day that the attack would be carried out. Well they didnt want everyone to know, and so the bomber on here is listed as special. This document comes from the collection of a gentleman named bag knew, he was a physicist who was instrumental in planning this attack. He was very diligent about keeping that evidence of this event, how important it was going to be, he insisted, for example, that cameras be placed on the plains, which is why we have the footage of the attack, which is actually held in the archives here at hoover, as you can see here there is a picture of the plane, his dog tags. One thing that makes this library very special is that we provide event access, to all, therefore we have students, professors, historians, journalists, filmmakers, everyone. They can use these materials, to promote a better understanding of history. We are about here for a very thoughtful and stimulating presentations on hoovers humanitarian efforts
