"I didn't wear this uniform very much because I wore fatigues during the war (the khakis). In the Army Nurse Corps we automatically are 2nd Lieutenants. There was so much anti-Semitism. Three Christian doctors told me that the Jewish nurses did not get promoted."

"After Kristallnacht, my grandmother went to Brazil and then we sponsored her to come here. It was difficult at the beginning for me. School was difficult, language was hard. But we graduated at 16. My father had problems with the language. My grandmother was more educated then any of us. She went to boarding school - fluent in English and French."
