And I was sitting by the table and there was a young girl, a German
girl. And I was talking fluently German. I spoke to her, and she
spoke to me and she, I saw she likes me, she talks to me and then
she started talking about Jews, that because of the Jews the war
broke out, that because of the Jews er this this and this. I asked
her the plain question: "Did you ever saw a Jew?" She said, No I
never saw." I said "How you know what it...?" [and she said] "Oh!
Hitler said that they are killers they are this they are that. And
they have horns," she said. "They have horns. Jews have horns." And
I said, "Listen darling, I am a Jew. And I have no horns." She
almost died. I couldn't believe it what kind of faces she made then
and she...she ran out from the house and she was so excited and saw
this. Then she came back and said, "You are lying to me. That's
impossible," she said. "You couldn't be it." I was a good-looking
young fellow, in a in a uniform and--she couldn't believe it. And
that was the...the image of the Jews. It was only...they...they
didn't know even who a Jew is. But the image of a Jew was, for
them, something that...terrific was with horns or some devil or
something, a Jew is...is not a normal person.
