Lerner thought because he was a leftist like the others he would be accepted by them, but, as the very patriotic and assimilated Jews of Germany found out, this was not true. The German Jews shaved their beards and were as patriotic and nationalistic as the rest of the Germans, but, when the head of the National Socialist German Worker's party (N.S.D.A.P), Adolf Hitler, took over, it did not matter.
