I’ve read that during WW1 and again in WW2 many Germans named Mueller changed their names to Miller due to harassment of Germans.

It’s easy to imagine it wasn’t easy being of German descent back in the day and makes you wonder if there will ever come a time when we are completely at ease when we learn our pilot for our transatlantic flight is none other than, “Ahmed.” Shouldn’t take more than 100-150 yrs or so.

There is a major league baseball pitcher (retired now) who was born Sanford Braun. He went into the BB Hall of Fame after a brilliant career with the Dodgers.

You know him as Sandy Koufax.

We went from von Bauer to Bowers in my family.
