Thereafter began a period of terror that expanded beyond the borders of Germany and encompassed much of the world and led to the deaths of about 50 million people. My father possessed extraordinary foresight that day. and indeed throughout his life. In July of 1933. we left Germany on a temporary visa and went to Czechoslovakia. where we stayed for the summer. We then proceeded from country to country. seeking admittance into the United States. It was very difficult in those days to come to the United States. It still is. That is one of the reasons why I take such an interest in the immigration bill. We went from country to country. as my wifes family had to do in later years. They left later than we.
