    • 1993, Helmut Kohl, Allgemeine Jüdische Wochenzeitung, 15th/23rd September 1993‎:
      Doch Ihre These, dass Deutschland überall in der Welt so dargestellt wird, stimmt nicht. Wenn Sie natürlich nur bestimmte amerikanische Zeitungen der Ostküste lesen, haben Sie ein Bild von Deutschland, das mit der Wirklichkeit unseres Landes nichts zu tun hat.
      But your assumption that Germany is presented this way everywhere in the world, is not true. Of course, if you read only certain American newspapers of the East Coast, you will get an image of Germany that has nothing in common with the reality of our country.
