Did it really happen?
I am looking for the original source for this speech. I know of E. Martin Schotz book 'History Will Not Absolve Us' where it is quoted in full. Others such as Douglass also quote this reference. But I cannot find any evidence from any Cuban source (and believe me they love to document Castro's speeches) or from any of the various databases of Castro's speeches and writings as well as the UN speech data base. The English translation was supposed to have been lodged by Cuba at the UN. I know the transcript was supposed to be from a tv broadcast and the text is what was supposed to be lodged in English by Cuba but I cannot find any record of it on any UN databases. Not sure of Cuban tv recording archives. Seems patchy and I can't find any record of this one. For sure the US and others would be wanting to know Castro's statements on the event and would have recorded it. It is a good speech and does sound like some thing Castro would say. Can any one give me the original source please? Spanish or English.
