Dr Meer, can I on behalf of the Commission thank you for coming.    I think its of enormous assistance to the Commission to have people come and to paint a picture of what those days were really like.    And you and so many others have taken us back and reminded us that the price of freedom was very high.
That  you know one almost forgets about banning orders.    Some young people today, black and white, cannot believe that these things actually happened, and it's good to be reminded so that we don't make the same mistakes again, and I am grateful to you for sketching that as well as sharing with us some of the trauma that you yourself experienced.
The Commission's task is overwhelming.    It is witnesses like you who make it just a little easier, and we are very grateful.    Thank you very much.
