Meeting with U.S. Consul General Brian Heath
We were delighted to host U.S. Consul General Brian Heath yesterday at the Goethe University campus. He is the head of the largest Consulate General of the US in the world. It is more extensive regarding personnel and facilities than many US Embassies. It was a great pleasure for us to show you the building where Dwight D. Eisenhower had his office. The IG Farben Building was the most important place for the implementation of the Marshall Plan, which supported the reconstruction of Europe after the war. We Germany owes the Americans so much which that will never be forgotten.
