Shiploads of Jews seeking refuge in the U.S. from the holocaust were sent back to Europe and their fate.
Well, I tried being good, and didn't mention the girls part, but...well, if the shoe fits...its nice to be appreciated for a change, ain't it?
"Well, I tried being good, and didn't mention the girls part,"
Yea, maybe your dad taught you the facts of life, and about how lovely Serbic girls can be :)))
I did believe that Nancy Reagan's upbringing was rough, at best, and that she brought herself up by her bootstraps. That's the inspirational part, not embarrassing as Nancy herself felt but inspirational to others. She did have to get married to Reagan as she was pregnant with Patty at the time, which could also inspire others in the same situation that a shotgun marriage can be very, very successful.

Mrs Simpson: Secret Lives of the Duchess of Windsor
Charles Higham
Synopsis
An explosive biography, substantially updated with fascinating new material about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor The romance of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor has been called the greatest love story of the twentieth century. However with the first edition of this biography in 1988, highly acclaimed author Charles Higham used explosive secret intelligence files to reveal a far darker side to their forty-year relationship. Now the author has re-visited and updated his international bestseller, resulting in a fascinating, and at times shocking expose of Wallis Simpson and our own royal family. New and disturbing revelations have come to light, adding to the now classic story of an illegitimate child from Baltimore who rose to become the mistress of the king of England and brought about his abdication. Although Wallis gained control of the Monarch through sexual techniques learned in China, she risked losing everything through a reckless, long-term affair with William Bullitt, US Ambassador to France. Fascinating revelations include newly released FBI files that demonstrate as no other source has done, the extent of the Duchess's espionage activities and how she conspired against Britain in the interest of Hitler. This is an intimate and extraordinary account of the woman who very nearly became the Queen of England.
The shameless slut.
And also to all the others:
Does anybody know records showing how long Prince Philip attended the Salem school originally founded by Kurt Hahn in southern Germany? Apparently he arrived there at age 12, in 1933, after Kurt Hahn had left (the school was continued because its owner, Prince Max of Baden did not give it up even after Hahn's departure). Philip's attendance at Gordonstoun school, also founded by Hahn, in 1934, I find attested from 1937 at least.
But did he get to attend Gordonstoun any earlier? I find contradictory or lacking statements in divers biographies of Prince Philip, but no quotable record.
