than the germans hated jews. now, that's a big statement. it was really unbelievable. so we had derogatory words that we used and we hated everything german. my parents emphasized that even more. so that's how i grew up and that's how i lived. if a german tourist would ask me where is the ann frank house and ann frank house was there i would tell them to go that way and i would think that was funny. then when we got married and had children i continued with this terrible hatred. you wonder why didn't your husband stop you. my husband knows how to pick his battles. if he had said anything about my parents we wouldn't have been married 51 years. but there came a time, my husband was in the military, american military, and we were stationed in nato headquarters in belgium and our nine-year-old daughter rang the doorbell off -- they have duplex housing on the base, in one part lived the president of the jewish community and i brought -- we brought up our children with religion, you know, contrary to what my parents d

based on german archives, what i concluded, and i think definitively, is that while the germans talked a lot and particularly the pan-germans talked a lot about the idea of a german empire in latin america and while there were reasons to be worried, for example, there were a lot of germans living in brazil. there was a whole german colony in brazil. there is no evidence of any serious german government plan at any point to take advantage of it. the zimmerman telegram you can say is some evidence, but i really think, as ben says, it was hapless and it was in a very particular context of wanting to divert american forces before they got involved in europe. so i think that the whole idea of any concerted serious german threat to the hemisphere doesn't hold water. >> if i could just add one more thing. a key component to these big power politics is factoring in the mexican government itself. i think one of the reasons the german intrigues didn't go far is it wasn't in carranza's the president of mexico from 1915 to 1920, it wasn't in his interests to get too cozy with germany. he basically

the germans were our friends. >> right. >> we gave domicile to the german. why would you invade a friendly country? they did. probably because they wanted the city of rodderdam. it was easier to have their ships there than invade the rest of the world. when they came into holland on may 10th, 1940, my father's engineering battalion was ready in the southern part of holland, and they were ready to blow up the bridges over the river. the german army was so prepared. >> when he was taken prisoner of war, did this -- the fact that he was drafted, the fact that he served in the dutch army, this did not really save him from the threat of deportation. what happened to your dad when he was captured? >> he was with his whole group. they were prisoner of war. after holland capitulated, because they only fought for four days, a couple of weeks after that they let all the dutch officers go back to holland. we became part of germany. my parents settled in the town of harlan. the threat against jews wasn't there yet. my father just lived there. >> there was persecution sh
