I still have letters from my grandfathers side with (Heil Hitler) in parentheses. If the family did not write such and such then the censors would have rolled them up on the German side and the US side would also have them on the list( Hebrew not Jewish but enough to send both to the ovens if they returned). Gramps was asked to return to Germany and claim his rightful ownership of such and such. He never returned. He went to Mt Talmalpias Military School and later was a dental surgeon/Colonel in the US Army
Grams and gramps used to speak in whispers in German/Yiddish. The neighbors a few blocks away were holocaust survivors and I remember they used to shake holding hands( not davening) in tears in a room fearful of the out doors
The reason I wrote these two blurbs of pre ( and during) WW-II Germany is there was a black and white, a good and evil and the PC culture in Germany was dangerous enough to be demonized as it is today. The extremes are just beginning unless we can quell the sparks of Bolshevism/Brown Shirts.
