I’ve known a number of holocaust survivors. I worked with this one. He was fond of saying, “Better hung for lion than a lamb.” We had a contract with the German version of the FAA. The Germans complimented him on his command of their language. He replied, “I was a guest in your country for several years.”

Awesome story!
Sly humor at its best.
