I remember Nazi election propaganda posters showing a hateful Jewish face with crooked nose.

I survived only a year in Berkeley, partly because I declined to sign the anticommunist loyalty oath.

In 1934, the American Jewish charities offered to find homes for 300 German refugee children. We were on the SS Washington, bound for New York, Christmas 1934.
