Address given by Winston Churchill at the European rally
in Amsterdam (9 May 1948): “We hope to see a Europe where men of every country
will think as much of being a European as of belonging to their native land,
and that without losing any of their love and loyalty of their birthplace. We
hope wherever they go in this wide domain, to which we set no limits in the
European Continent, they will truly feel "Here I am at home. I am a
citizen of this country too". Let us meet together. Let us work
together. Let us do our utmost—all that
is in us—for the good of all. How simple it would all be, how crowned with
blessings for all of us if that could ever come, especially for the children
and young men and women now growing up in this tortured world. How proud we
should all be if we had played any useful part in bringing that great day to
come.”
