I had a blind date with a very good-looking German man back about 1980, oy, such a long time ago! Now, you can’t paint all Germans with a broad brush, but I swear I was with him not 10 minutes before he started talking against the Jews in a gross way. This was in NYC so I guess he noticed a few of them. My skin crawled and I was outta that date within the next 5 minutes(I’m not Jewish, by the way).
I imagine you look a lot like Robert Duvall, lol!
Don’t I wish I looked like Robert Duvall now at 62! Actually I wasn’t a bad lookin young skinny dude in 1983 at my first wedding. She was called home by the Lord but my new wife is keeping me on the straight and narrow. Tryin’ to, anyway.
I do remember Germans yammering at me so what about Auschwitz why did you have to bomb our cities. I have since given away all my souvenir German stuff too bad since I am ethnically half German but American all the way. Guys I served with in FRG who spoke German better than me even with German surnames were appalled at how they were treated by the locals. My bride flew into Frankfurt airport and she was furious how they treated her like a Jew because of her dark hair and eyes. Ironically I beat out two Jewish guys who tried to marry her before I did.
BTW, G-d bless Israel!
