A war bride and always treated us kids great...The Nazi indoctrination was strong though.
She did not say anything Anti American or outwardly anti semitic but things "leaked" out... I distinctly remember her talking about one of our friends who was Jewish... She liked him and said "he was a Jew but a good Jew"... It rose the hair on my neck... All her kids had anti semitic tendency's so I can just imagine what was said behind closed doors...One child said that her friend had a "jew accent".. uff...
My best friend never ever said anything anti semitic..
Ironically growing up most of our friends were Jewish....
This shit never stops...
