The family is full of Sam Goodriches. I can think of six of them right off the bat. When you say Sam, you could cover a lot of territory. He worked for him for a number of years. This uncle was successful, and he opened a store in Sandersville, Georgia from Davisboro and then he opened one in Milledgeville. [In] 1921, my father convinced my grandfather that he needed to leave Russia, and it was the time of the revolution there with the White Russians and with Lenin and so forth. I don't know a lot about that, but my grandfather, Lee Goodrich, and my grandmother, my uncle Ellis and my aunt Fannie. They all came from Russia through Japan into San Francisco [California] and they put them on a train again and they ended up in Milledgeville, Georgia. My father had rented a little store around the corner up there, very small, about 15 feet across, maybe 40 feet deep. He and my grandfather went into business. From that point on, they stayed there, and I was telling you the story earlier about. In 1929, they decided my father already had a family with two children in it and he wanted the children to grow up in a Jewish atmosphere . . . They left Milledgeville, Georgia and moved to Staten Island, Long Island [New York] in 1929 and went into business there with a big department store. I was fortunate enough several years ago to go visit my brother-in-law there and ask him, drive down that street in Staten Island. I want to see if I recognize it.

I was next in line and then my sister came a little later on, and then of course finally my brother, but Sam, first Sam. But after we moved back to Milledgeville, did my Sam arrive on the scene. But anyway, in 1929, they opened this department store there, and with the crash coming right along, it crashed their business. They were used to being very busy because they were very successful here. Sitting around day after day during the depression, starting of the depression was not their cup of tea. In 1930, they packed everything up and returned to Milledgeville, Georgia and opened the store in this present location of 144 West Hancock Street, Milledgeville, GA in 1930. From that point on, we lived in Milledgeville. Now my personal experiences and things that have happened through the years, you think about where did you live? I lived three blocks down the street there in what we call Mrs. Parker's house. It was a big old white framed house with a big porch all the way around and detached kitchen. Because in case the kitchen caught on fire, it didn't burn down the house. It was an old house and about the most vivid memories I have of it was that it had a pot-bellied stove in the bedroom. On those cold, cold nights, my mother used to take all the children into that room and fire up that pot-bellied stove with coal. That was some of my memories of that particular location there. We lived there until the mid-1930's, and then we progressively moved until we moved to the homes they built in 1936 in West End out here. By then, my father and uncle were partners with my grandfather, and they built two identical homes in West End. Because they liked the house they lived in at the time, so they decided they'd just build two homes just alike in West End. Along came the rest of the family. We talked about earlier that you all were concerned with what went on with Jews and any antisemitism at the time and everything. I never grew up feeling that I was not totally accepted in the Christian community. Now they may have said, we were blank to blank behind our back but never in front of me. I had many friends. Jake and I, and he'll tell you; we became very close after our wives sort of mixed with us.

We grew up, I grew up in West End, and all of my friends were around me and we did everything together. There was no reason to ever feel that we weren't totally accepted. Religion never seemed to enter into the picture except that my folks were frum [Yiddish: religious]. They made every effort to get kosher food here. They went to Macon [Georgia], they drove to Atlanta [Georgia] and always had kosher food in their house. We grew up in an atmosphere of, as my wife sometimes described, a little ghetto. The two houses with the big brick fence around it was our world. But everybody that wasn't Jewish came into our world, so we really enjoyed our youth growing up. We never felt like we were excluded from anything because of religion. Our folks closed their stores on Rosh HaShanah, closed their store on Yom Kippur. They did not keep open. We went to Macon in later years for the holidays. While some of the merchants over there would open up on those holidays, they closed up totally here. It was a very tight-knit family. Everyone worked in the store. They did not hire any outside help.

Okay. The Army, I was going to GMC, Georgia Military College. I don't know how familiar you are with that, but they had the ROTC [Reserve Officers' Training Corps] programs for advanced student. They commissioned; Jake will tell you about that later on. But they commissioned, I was only a third year student because next year was the fourth year student. I was there and the PMS\u0026T [Professor of Military Science and Tactics], which was the commander. He said to me, his name was Major Lee, Weepin' Willie Lee. He says, \"Mr. Goodrich, would you like to be battalion commander at school?\" I says, \"No, sir. I'm going to take it the easy way out. I'm going in the Army. I'm leaving this place.\" I went into the service. I registered the day before I was 18. Three days later, I was in Atlanta at the processing center, and four days later I was in the Army, that was during the draft. You have to remember, whether you're familiar with that, each county had its quota of people they had to send to Atlanta. It started with the single unmarried and young people in there. They were running out of them. This was 1944 . . . August and September 1944, and they were running out of people to send. As soon as you registered, I could have gotten the exemption going to GMC, but I wasn't going to get that. Getting in that quagmire at that time. But anyway, I went up with three people. One was, one they released from the boys' reformatory out here so the Army could take him. The other was a guy with two children. They were down to taking him like that. We got up there, and we were processed. The guy with the two children had a perforated eardrum and he was not taken in. The kid from the reformatory, they kept him six weeks. I heard they threw him back out and sent him back to the reformatory. They kept me. I went to the infantry training center in Camp Blanding, Florida. From there, I came home for, I think they gave me seven days. Then went to overseas, we'll shorten this thing up. We get there, what color was the boat if we're going to get into details. But anyway, I went there and finished my basic training there in January, and we were shipped out to Italy. We got in Italy in the last of January.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=1211.0,1365.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/51","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eLEVY:\u003c/strong\u003e Now, you described yourself as a small town boy . . .

We were dumb and stupid and wanted to see some action. We spent three months training like mad over and over and again. We felt like we wanted to see what we could do. My experience in Italy was typical of, you do nothing and nothing happens to you. We were infantry replacements. They put us in the replacement center number 24 in the Volturno Valley right outside of Caserta [Italy], that's near Naples [Italy]. Then after the carriers got enough, they moved us forward to the eighth replacement depot near Florence [Italy]. Lo and behold, the war ended in May. We were up in the eighth replacements depot in there and then processed with the Army. The system of getting out of the Army was points. If you had been in long enough, you had a lot of points, 70 or 80 points. If you were in there as long as I was, you had 18 points. There's a long way between 80 and 18. They kept us in there and I went through two or three . . . Ended up putting us in the quartermaster because that's where they were shipping everybody home. They were going home. They had vacancies there and killed about another six or seven months in the Army being put here and put there. They didn't have any . . . not enough points to get out and not enough points to discharge you. We were in limbo and there was a bunch of us, about 25 of us that they just shuffled around trying to find something to do. I picked up paper, went to typing school, went to administrative schools. Just something to keep us busy. Until our time came up and I got out July 5, 1946. Then came home, went to the University of Georgia in September, and graduated in class of 1949, finished in 1948, graduated in 1949. In between them, my father had a heart attack, and I came home to work one quarter and graduated from junior college at GMC. I always describe it took me seven years to get out of junior college. But anyway, got my diploma there in 1947 and then graduated from University of Georgia in 1948, and came home. Interesting story a little bit, at least to me it is, how I ended up in the business I'm in. About 15 seconds of research, maybe 14 seconds of research on the subject matter. In this store, we had a very good friend that owned a building up the street that I was in business, eventually ended up in business up there. We were sitting down in this store [it] had a shoe department. It's a Saturday night about nine o'clock waiting for customers to come in. He came in, he always came in. He was a bachelor, about 60 years old. He came in and said, \"We got that store up there going to be vacant. The gas company is moving out. How about your boy going into business?\" Now I hadn't decided on anything. My father turned to me, \"Harold, how would you like to go into business.\" [I said,] \"I guess it's okay.\" Here I am 60 years later. Didn't even know what kind of business I was going to go in.

My father and my uncle, I forgot whether my uncle went to New York and bought the Torahs or not, but I still got the packing cases in the basement where they were shipped from New York here, the Torahs. They bought books, and my father had an ark built, and they started the congregation. We met, tried to meet every Saturday morning at six o'clock in the morning so they could get through with services before going to work. Now, off and on through the years, we'd run shy of one member.

Yes, they didn't say as individuals, just boycotting in general the white folks. But I never had a problem with my customers and Jake can bear out what experiences he had with them. We've never discussed it in great depth that there was ever a major problem there. A little side story, I was involved with Georgia Military College at the time I was on the board and it fell to my lot at that particular time to negotiate with the Board of Education because this was a public-private school and wasn't included in the program where the government said you integrated your schools. The school integration here was not different. It was done in Valdosta [Georgia] at the federal court down there. Being on the board, we were concerned because we were being funneled money from the state through the board for the number of students there. In other words, they were giving us the money the state sent them for students here and they would send us the money for the students up there. It was a good relationship. We went before their board and saying now they're going to do allotments. We would like to get 120, and I always remember this. We're sitting there at the board and [indistinct: 36: 03] who was chairman of the board, he says, \"Harold, you can't operate with 120 high school students. I'm going to ask the judge to give you [an] allotment of 300 students to send money for.\" Now, they weren't sending . . . to pay for 300 students. If you had 120, you got paid for 120. But they decided that 300 would be enough to operate a school financially. Of course, it was a little more involved in the school because they've got junior college and all the other things and barracks for students, junior college students and at that time, high school students. We went down to the federal court, and we had asked in their petition for 300 students. The judge gave us 300 students, that 300 students could be paid there. It didn't say white or black, 300 students, you could have no discrimination. You could get paid for up to 300 students. The other little side story, and I don't know if this applies to any of this thing you're interested in, one black activist went down there on the bus. When they brought this up, he didn't say anything. He went down and was there. I had ridden down with a friend of ours that was on the board there, Bonner Jones, and he came over to me because he knew me through my father. We dealt with minorities all my life and in my store too. He says, \"Mr. Goodrich,\" he says, \"Can I ride back with you to Milledgeville?\" I says, \"It's not my car.\" I says, \"But I will ask Mr. Jones.\" Bonner, who's a great guy, he says, \"Certainly. We'll put him in the back seat with you and the rest of you.\" There's three of us in the back seat and two in the front seat. We rode back with him. I knew him before, and a little side story, when they built our homes in West End out there, this activist was a young boy from the 1930's, and he knew me real well. He says, \"Mr. Goodrich, I want to tell you a story.\" He says, \"I was a boy mixing cement on the job there.\" He says, \"Your uncle Ellis . . . asked me if I'd wash his car. He'd give me a dime. That was pretty good money. I was working.\" Two of them had washed his car. They put paste wax on it, and the dagburn stuff hardened. They didn't realize the stuff would get hardened. Instead of putting it on and wiping it off, it hardened. He says, \"It took us six or seven hours to get that paste off of that car.\" I always remember that story he told. We're still good friends. He hadn't passed away now, but he's a very old gentleman now. But we always talk about it, and I kid him about that paste on there. I don't know how much relevant to what you're talking about is interest, but it shows how integration could be. Where people were able to . . . There was a few incidents on the school buses and things like that, but basically there was never problem one here. For us as Jews, we never knew one way or the other. We were treated like . . . We were discriminated against like everybody else. But it never was, and there's not been a problem through the years. I can think, yes, we are fortunate, but my wife always says, tell the story about the Ku Klux Klan. We lived out . . . Where you all came in, that was full of hamburger joints back in those days. The road we lived on, my folks had built a couple brick houses out there, and we took one. It was a dead-end street there, and up on a hill there was a church, a holy-roly type church up there. Down our street which was dirt, we would drive home at night down that street there. The Ku Klux Klan was meeting up there, and they were blocking the street. They weren't stopping people from driving, but they were blocking the street and seeing who was in there. When we pulled up the Ku Klux Klan leader . . . I says, \"We lived down there.\" He says, \"Okie doke, on down the street now.\" He knew who I was, you see. In a way there was discrimination, but in a way we never felt it in the fact that we were Jews. I can remember when two Ku Klux Klansman were walking on the street, just walking down the street in their robes around the side of the street and on down this street here. What they were doing out there, I'll never know, but they were walking in robes right down the street down here. The experiences you have in small town are totally different from what you read about in the papers. Now I know there were incidences of things that happened in other small towns, but I can only tell you what's happened in Milledgeville, Georgia in my personal experience. I could only describe it as a good life. I don't know if that's a good story but thinking back that you want information that I hope you can piece this in there. But come bar mitzvah, Jewish, here we are in a small town, no one to teach me. My folks packed me up, took me to New York. I had an aunt in New York on Union Street. Put me down there and three months later came back and got me. Meanwhile, this rabbi teacher in New York taught me. They teach differently now. Back then he just opened up the portion I was supposed to read, and he went over that and over that and over and over until I was going bananas. Then I bar mitzvahed in New York. They had a little small neighborhood congregation. There must have been 10 or 15 men there, all over 90, with long beards. I remember my aunt, she got a bottle of schnapps, some herring, and a challah. After the bar mitzvah, that was the party. I guess I think that's what you're trying to achieve, actually what's happened to me rather than how well I did at the University of Georgia. Not real well. We won't go into depth there. I always say that I'm glad my kids didn't hear about my career at Georgia. I wasn't a bad guy. It was just that I wasn't a good student. Fortunately, my children were all very bright . . . Nathalie and I look at each other because Nathalie was pretty bright. I wasn't the bright one in the crowd. All the rest of the kids that followed along after me watched how hard I worked, and they decided they weren't going into the retail business. They're going to be doctors. Now I want to say in fairness, my uncle Ellis was the influence on all these kids being doctors. Sam, who was the oldest of his, he could do anything he wanted to do as long as he was going to be a doctor. He was a brilliant young man. He was, about the best way I remember when we were at GMC, when he was at GMC, the head of the school up there told me one time, he says in his career of teaching in colleges and being college president, he's only known two students who were as smart as Sam and one other student. He went to med school, and he did an outstanding job. An outstanding student there. Happily, my children did well there too, but Sam, no one can say it, his brother Ike and his brother Allan, brilliant students.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=2086.0,2637.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/75","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eUNKNOWN:\u003c/strong\u003e Sam came back here.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=2637.0,2638.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/76","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOODRICH:\u003c/strong\u003e Yes, he did.

It was a different area. You always hear people referring to the depression years and how folks helped each other. Everybody was poor, so it was an easy world to travel in. They were all on the same level on relationships and family and finances to a certain degree. All the kids with the exceptions . . . One of the girls didn't graduate from college. It's the traditional story of the parents want the children to do better than they all did. It was just always something going on with all these extended family kids. I told you about my sister. My youngest sister, Sylvia, had three children. When she passed away, her husband just couldn't handle it. Two of the kids came up here to live. Charles, the doctor, he lived in our house half the time and my mother's house half of the time there. But he was just another member of the family in there. My best story about Charles is that he was up here and he'd been a basketball hero down in Vidalia when they moved him up here. He was living with us, and he would play basketball. He was doing all right in school and he came home from school with an A and a couple of B's and a C, and he showed his report card to Nathalie and says, \"Charles, that is very, very good.\" She says, \"I don't care what you bring home, as long as it's an A.\" Do you know that child never brought another grade but one grade in the rest of high school, college, and medical school. Never a lower grade. She said, \"I knew he was capable. Why should he loaf?\" But decided he would accept her decision that he had to be an A?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=3044.0,3171.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/91","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eLEVY:\u003c/strong\u003e She inspired him.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=3171.0,3173.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/92","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOODRICH:\u003c/strong\u003e She did all the kids like that. I don't know where I got into the picture. I want to just tell you because my wife inspired these kids. She gave them what really religious training they've had. She made sure the kids all bar mitzvahed and she carted them back and forth from Milledgeville to Macon twice a week. I don't know if she told you all those stories or part of them, but she made sure they got a good Jewish education. They're very good. My son, who I thought was a lost cause with religion out there, president of the synagogue in the place where he's at out there. Runs the service, has had the only instrument that's keeping the dagburn thing open out there. I never thought that kid would even say bracha on Friday nights again in his time. He runs a school; he's teaching his own kids because in Arizona where he's at there's no rabbi and the gentleman that taught his other sons died. He's had to teach his last son whatever he can teach him to be bar [mitzvahed]. But to think that kid, I still can't believe it, and he's my son. He's done very well in seeing that. They just don't appreciate it as much as I do because I decided to appreciate it myself. But my Nathalie's the one that's responsible for them getting good educations, being able to read Hebrew and do well. It's helped me quite a bit along the line, I have to confess. My wife has kept my religion in the forefront of my life, which is very good. But those extended children, Joann, gosh. That kid's so bright I'm almost afraid to be around her. She's just a super bright gal. Burton, which was the child that wasn't here with my other sister, he's a lawyer in Chicago.

They're not responsible in any way.\" That was my third one. The other one opportunity I had, this is before my wife, you understand. I was dating a young lady who's Jewish over in Macon. I'll be a little vague about it because she just died. He had a state of Georgia insurance company. I won't mention the name or anything else. He says, \"You come over here.

I'll just do this. Honestly, but I had three good opportunities out there. I don't regret it. I enjoyed every minute I do it. I enjoy every day today and tomorrow will be an even better day.

You always think of friends you have in your lifetime and growing up as a Jew in a small community. Who are your best friends? Of course, Jake, now, is in the community, and we were always close. It isn't a matter of best friend or not. We've always been close as Jews in our community. Then I've had a very large family. I'll been close to Sam and the rest of them. But as a Jew, you think about who are your best friends that are not Jewish. Being Jewish has a certain tie in together. You can't really put them as you would someone that's not in your religion, which you relate in so many ways, which you don't with Christianity. I had three good friends, our children, and we all grew up and weren't Jewish. But I had a fourth friend that I grew up with that was a very, very close friend, and we drank our scotch together. We would sit down, he'd come over to our house, and we'd open up a full bottle of scotch, and it'd be two-thirds gone before [we knew it]. We'd make sure he got home. He didn't live here. He lived away. We were very close, and he unfortunately died a few years ago. I've got one left now I grew up with in West End with him. His wife always says, \"If he doesn't come home from downtown when I send him to get some, I know he ran into you. Because you two talk for hours over stuff that you've done and going to do and everything else.\" His name is Billy Hargrove, and we hug. We are the worst people in the world. We meet on the street. We just hug and say, \"Where the hell have you been?\" We just see each other once maybe a month, sometimes once a year, sometimes twice a week. But we're very, very close. He grew up half a block from us, and he always referred to my mother as Mama Goodrich. He'd come over. He says, \"I was over in your house as much as I was in my own house.\" We grew up very close together. He turned out to be a preacher. I told Nathalie, \"If I die and you can't get the rabbi, he's burying me.\" I've been to dozens of funerals, he'd buried me. He's never seen a bad man in his life. We had a next door neighbor. I know this doesn't rely on and I enjoy talking. Next door neighbor, he grew up, and he became a bounder. Anyway, Nathalie hated him, and he came back to visit, back and forth and divorced three wives and this kind of stuff. When he died, someone phoned me up and said, \"You remember Charles.\" One of his nieces were here and said, \"I've got to find somebody to bury him. I'm not close to my church and he's here.\" I said, \"I got the man for you.\" After he preached the sermon and we buried Charles, I walked over to Billy and I said, \"Billy, are you sure you had the right man in the casket?\" He says, \"Lord understands.\" You grow up with some great friends, and Billy is one of my great friends there. We were, I guess we were here. We . . . ran into each other in one of those theaters. We really don't mix socially at all. \u003cEnd Tape 1\u003e \u003cBegin Tape 2\u003e I want to say of my Army career, the only thing that I'll just go briefly over it. I was inducted at Fort McPherson in Atlanta, and I have a cute story telling all that. We're standing in processing line, going down the line there. I'm behind this tall, lanky guy in front of me. I noticed they stamped something on his paper and his hand was on it and passed on. It looked like literate on it. I gave him my paper, and he didn't stamp anything on it, and passes. [I said,] \"You didn't stamp anything on my paper that I'm literate.\" He says, \"Man, that guy's illiterate.\" I wanted a stamp on my paper. [Both laughing] There's stupid little stories like that that are funny. When you're standing there and the guy's got his hand sort of over it and he stamps it and passes on. I handed my paper to stamp and he wouldn't stamp it. I was already in junior college. I was already a sophomore in junior college, but I wanted to be stamped illiterate. It shows you my Army career was almost that good. At that time, they were only sending, they were running short on infantrymen. They were killing them off in France, a lot of casualties, and in Italy at that time, I discovered later. We were sent to Camp Blanding, Florida, down there. It was a big infantry center. Don't ask me why they sent us down there, because there was one over in Macon, Georgia that had 80,000 troops in it. They sent us all the way, anyway, down there and we trained. Being Jewish in the Army at that particular time didn't seem to make much difference. We were all 18- and 19-year-old kids. Once in a while they threw an old man, 26, into the crowd. But basically, we were all 18-and 19- year-olds. We had a mixture of Italians from Chicago and hillbillies from West Virginia, and a spattering of a few of us up and down the lines there. We all got along well, and religion never cropped up, I don't know of a single time that it ever cropped in there. I went to services once or twice, but it never cropped up. From there, after the Battle of the Bulge, they cut our training short, and they sent us home for five days. It wasn't seven days. Five days at home, then shipped us. I went to Washington, D.C., to Fort Meade, and they processed us there. Like a quirk in the Army, my whole Army career was like this. I'm standing in line to check in, and the guy stands and says, \"You seven, one, two, three, four, step out.\" They rushed us seven through. They were short seven men to fill up a ship to go to Italy. The rest of them went to France and a lot of them died in France. But they, you one, two, three, four, five . . . seven. You seven got out and pulled. In back of me was my good friend, Jesse Heck, a Jewish boy from Columbus, Georgia. He was one of those guys, two left hands. All the time in basic training, we fixed his tent for him. We cleaned his rifle. He could never do anything right, but he was a good boy. He was a tech. He was a junior tech when they pulled him out. He's behind me this whole time. Here are seven rushed through there. They put us on a special truck, rushing us around and getting there and then giving us one 24-hour pass. The next day, they put us on a boat going to Italy. We didn't know they were going to put us on a train and went down to the train station. Red Skelton, you've heard of Red Skeleton, he's dead now. He comes walking through the train. It's raining so hard you couldn't even see. We were standing in the rain, but in the Army that don't make any difference. We get on the train, and he'd walked up and down the line shooting the bull with everybody. We get in the train. We're going through the line. He's joking with everybody moving through and he says something to one of the guys there, and he said, \"You'll do okay.\" This guy says, \"Red, how about coming with us?\" He moved right on down the line. Remember, you don't even remember crazy little things. Being on the ship, throwing up, seasick. Only for five minutes. That's all. Walk around our deck, everybody's throwing up, the ship is up like this and down like that. I'm watching all everybody throwing up over the rail and then the big barrels and it just hit me, and I walked over and threw up and that was it. We got to Italy, we landed in Naples, the harbor was cluttered up with sunken ships. They put us on these long cattle buses and trucks and headed us out to Caserta in the valley there and we trained again and again. We were the best trained troops that ever walked the earth's surfaces. I've never and I still reflect a lot of what I was trained to do. For seven months, we did the same process over and over again. We could do it in our sleep and they would send these . . . war's stupid anyway, but they were sending replacements in that were untrained. Take a guy out of the Air Force, they were short on men, they put him in the infantry and sent him out and get himself killed. He couldn't shoot a gun. Here we are, 20,000 of us, superbly trained, sitting on our cans in Italy. They were losing men up the forward area earlier, but they weren't losing them now and then they moved us up in the eighth and the war ended and then they decided they were going to ship me and about six other guys out of the infantry into the quartermaster, not the quartermaster but the engineers to work on, not engineers, but to work on trucks, repair trucks. That they didn't have any more use for us in the infantry. I couldn't even drive a car. I didn't know how to change a tire. They put me in to change motors and trucks. I get down there after six weeks, they recognized that I wasn't trained, and they shipped me over to the quartermaster, which was a good deal, with the exception they were slated to go to Japan direct. They load us all up on there. It was the good life there. [They] sent us down to Naples. We're waiting for our ship to load up to go straight through to Japan, and they dropped the first bomb. Then they decided to reroute us through the states. By the time we landed, in Boston [Massachusetts], they dropped the second bomb already. They decided that they didn't need us over there. They sent us down to Camp Lee in Virginia, and I spent the rest of my career going to school. Not all the way through school. Only one school did they allow us to go all the way. We'd go six weeks here and they decided they're closing down that school. They don't need any of these. Sent us six weeks to that one. Between that time picking up paper that you had to qualify for time to get out.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=3464.0,4130.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/99","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eUNKNOWN:\u003c/strong\u003e What did you think about the dropping of the bomb at that point?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=4130.0,4133.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/100","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOODRICH:\u003c/strong\u003e Not too much because you didn't get as much information as you thought you should be getting. Thinking about the German troops and we were talking about, you heard a little about the camps. You didn't hear a lot. When we were riding in these long cattle cars to the forward eighth replacement depot up there, we passed long cattle cars with German prisoners in them. We were looking at those kids, and they were really kids. All these were just young, young kids. I'm saying to myself, G-d, they're young, not realizing that we were young. But they were all, they all looked despondent but happy. They were out of the war and the war ended shortly after. But we were passing each other on the truck there. Fifty of them this side, us 50 going that way and these 50 going that way. But you didn't get as much information as you would have liked to gotten what was really happening in Germany. Because we were all focused towards Japan as far as what was happening. You feel like you're invincible as an 18 year old. I think they still feel that way now. They get out in their cars and go kill themselves. But back in those days, we felt confident. As I say, the German always felt like he was going to be the one that gets killed. We always felt we weren't going to be the one that got killed, and that was the attitude of the American soldier. That we were well trained, well equipped. It was a sense of being secure when you're in the Army . . . I don't know what it is now. Back in those days, everybody looked out for everybody else. But religion still did not crop up into it at all. I remember going to services on the ship going over. I went in and I says, I guess this was probably going to be Reform, so I took off my hat. I got in there and everybody had their hats on, so I put my hat back on. Remember all these stupid things like getting a tooth pulled on the ship going over.

I'd helped them on a campaign to get the city to deed some property over for them so they could build a building over there. I was in, I guess, 40's, and helped them own that drive to do it. One of the members was retiring, and I knew him well, a neighbor across the street. He says, \"You put Harold on the board, replace me.\" You didn't have to run for office, but every six years. He was in the middle of a term, so. He says, \"I want him to be on Colonel Moore.\" The board elected me on the board. I was the kid on the block, and the other members were there, and the president of the school was running the school, and he retired. They hired a new guy, bad medicine. They hired this new guy, and I'm still the junior guy, I had nothing to say. I just sat there. He was elected as president. Then the old boards, all the old board members started getting 65, and they had to retire, and they left just three of us old-timers on there. We replaced them with people. Old-timer, I was an old-timer at the end of a year. The oldest member on the board there named Johnny Moore. The second one came aboard, and they were getting into financial trouble. We didn't know anything back in the system, back in there, they didn't tell you anything on the board. We didn't know anything. Finally, the president calls us up and takes us down to his house, and feeds us lunch, and tells us we're broke. We owe $400,000, and I've got to meet payroll, and I'm squeezed a little out on that. I said nothing. I sat there, and the president, chairman of the board was one of the old members. He says, \"We're going to have to do something.\" He went home and had a heart attack. He did his share. They phoned me up the next day, phoned all the members there, and said, \"We've got to elect a new chairman.\" We come back there. Nobody wanted to be chairman. Who wants to be a chairman of a bankrupt organization, and they blame it on you? We argued for about an hour. We finally came up with a formula. The oldest member of the board would have to serve one year, and then he could get out. He wouldn't have to be chairman anymore. This older member than me, I was next to him now. He had four years or five years on the board, and I had one. He says, “Okay, we'll do it.\" I said to myself, G-d, this thing will close down before I have to be chairman. Three months later, he calls me up and says, \"I've been transferred to Pennsylvania. You're it.\" I was automatically made in charge of something that I didn't want to be. We met and I says, \"Gentlemen, I made up my mind.\" I says, \"The sheriff and I'll stand at the door when they bankrupt. I'm not closing the place up.\" Then we started struggling, and we struggled for almost three years. We hired; this president was nice enough to give me his resignation. We hired a general and got him down and started working on how to solve the problem with off-campus classes . . . School now is almost 5,000 students. When I was there, it was 500. We started out as 500 students. It's 5,000 now. A steady flow of money from these different, from Fort Gordon, Fort McPherson. Now they closed it. We've got an off campus. Then we got campus down in Valdosta, Warner Robins [Georgia] . . . Stood there and worked to get all of these things started with this General [Eugene] Salet. We slowly built it up and finally was able to float a loan. An interesting story on the loan, and I'm full of interesting stories. \"Listen to me, Harold. You go up there. We got a guy on the board and call the kids you never knew.\" But anyway, we went to see him and says, \"Culver, we got to have you and our legislature. We got to have help.\" He says, \"What you need? I said, \"We need $400,000. A loan.\" He says, . . . \"I'll get it for you.\" I says, \"Man, we're broke, our audit. \" He [said], \"I'll get it for you.\" You never heard of Culver. G-d, your generation missed some fabulous people. He was the legislature's senator from here. He ran the state of Georgia for 20 years. No governor did anything that he didn't go along with. Now, the governors hated him.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=4356.0,4650.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/109","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eUNKNOWN:\u003c/strong\u003e What was his name?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=4650.0,4651.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/110","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOODRICH:\u003c/strong\u003e Culver Kidd.

But anyway, going on, he said, \"Okay.\" We go up there, and he sends us to the teacher's retirement fund. I said, \"We want $400,000.\" They didn't even look at the papers we brought with them. They said, \"We don't loan that small amount of money.\" Now you're talking about 40 years ago. That's like $4 million today. We don't loan small amount of money. We get too much money coming in every month. We have to make bigger investments or larger loans. We said, \"We're lost.\" We come back to Culver. He says, \"I'll get you an appointment with the employee's retirement fund.\" We go up there. They get us an appointment with the chairman of their board of the finance committee. He was president of one of the banks in Atlanta, the First National. Here we go up to 23rd or 24th floor in the bank there. We had an appointment with the president of the bank, and we go in, and he'd already seen the paperwork and everything. He says, \"Gentlemen. You're a white elephant. We're not going to loan you a penny because you can't pay us back.\" Here we come back, see our friend Culver. \"Culver, he turned us down.\" He says, \"Don't listen to him. He's only chairman of the damn committee. I got the other six members in my pocket.\" Believe it or not, the other six members in his pocket, they loaned us the $400,000. That gave us the ability to move because I already owed the bank $200,000 here for the school. Anyway, that was the key to got, you asked the question, where's the $400,000? That's how we slowly started building from that point on. We were no longer pressed. We could pay the teachers. Nobody else, but the teachers got paid on time. Anyway, excuse me, and enabled us to move around a little bit with that $400,000 loan, the bank would then loan us a little money. We slowly worked back, and this General Salet opened these different places all over the country. He's another story. He died over in Augusta [Georgia] about 15 years ago.

I couldn't take it anymore on that board. You create just enemies when you're on that board of planning and zoning because there's the group that wants to put something in a place that somebody else doesn't want there. If you go with this one, that one hates you. If you go this one that one hate you. After being hated for 23 years, I decided that I would resign. One of those plaques up there, they gave me a plaque for that. I've got all these honors from GMC up there, but some of them up there and most of them at home. Big certificate they gave me. I think they were trying to get rid of me. But anyway, all of those little things, I hadn't even thought about those things on the side there. They were just side activities. I was chairman of the original Main Street group, which organized all this renovation and all this down there. I was also chairman of the, there was three levels. The first Main Street, I was in charge of financing, loaning money through the city for employment. In other words, a doctor was going to open an office. We would help fund his renovation if he was hiring four new people. I was involved in that for about, oh, I guess 15 years. Then this Main Street, which everybody talks about renovation, I was the first Main Street chairman. I dragged all the merchants over to [indistinct: 1:24:23], Georgia to show them what we didn't want. They wanted closed in areas like downtown, put these mall areas up there, and we wanted to go see what it was like over there. Good trip. We didn't do it. It was a disaster for them. I was chairman of that. I kept that, and then I turned that over to someone else, because it was taking all my time. I was trying to make a living on the side. I got some gal that said she'd be chairman, so I got off of that. Then I got involved with the second Main Street, which was the loan to encourage hiring new people. Then the third one I got stuck with was renovating the building, the stuff downtown, and decided they were going to pay somebody 200 bucks a month. I says, \"No, thank you. Here's a young lady that would love to do it,\" and got out of that so I didn't get blamed for no parking. I got out of that.

That $800 refrigerator had to planned to print the catalog, to get the inventory in. It didn't happen because they had too many refrigerators because they planned to sell that one to you at $800. Nothing wrong with it. You're getting the full value. But the point is, there's nothing out there free. That may be a good ending point there. No, I'd rather be on a more positive side. I like my half full and half empty as being more positive.

This dates back. [tape stops and resumes] This goes back to during the Second World War here in Milledgeville. The college over there opened up a, didn't open up, the Navy and the Marines created what they call a storekeeper school over there to train lady Marines. I was a cadet at that time. This was 1943, on GMC. They came marching in and they, I had two or three of the barracks over here. Through my good friend, J.C. Bell, just one of them . . . my drinking buddy. I always had one for him when we are even alone. They asked would he help set up their music for their parades when they'd have them there. He was pretty good with the radio set up and the record players and things like that. He and I being buddies, he was head of the school, I mean, head of cadet corps, and I was the cadet captain in the crowd. That doesn't mean anything now, but anyway. He says, \"Harold, how about Saturday mornings? Don't work and come out and help me set up the music for the WAVES [Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service] and the Lady Marines so they can march. They had to take the military school's parade grounds for them to march over there. He and I would go over there and set up the speaker system. After it was over with, he would run around pulling out the wires. I says, \"J.C., why in the world are you pulling out all these wires? We could take our time and unscrew them and everything.\" He says, \"I don't want them to learn how to do it. They'll cut us out and these girls will be doing it without us. This way, they got to come to us to do it.\" That was J.C.'s way of getting in with the WAVES. As it worked out, we did better than that. Now remember, we have 17 year old kids. We're not men of the world, and back in those days, 17 was 17. You may have known how to work for a living and be responsible, but you didn't know much about ladies. Particularly the sheltered life J.C. and I had. In his connections, he got to know some of the officers and the others, and some of girls lived out in town didn't have to live in the barracks. The teachers didn't have to live in barracks. Down on Liberty Street there, there was a nice big old home there, full of old homes now, but a couple of them lived there. He knew the people that owned the house and everything. We'd go over there and talk to these girls. One night, they were having a play up at GMC and J.C., we were over there with two other guys and shooting the bull. He says to the girls, three of the WAVES are sitting there and one of them sitting there, a girl named Ruth. He says to her . . . \"You want to go to the play?\" She said, \"Yes, I enjoy going.\" He says, \"Eight o'clock Friday night.\" Thursday I say, \"J. C., what are we going to do? You get your car, and we'll pick . . . her up.\" He says, \"Oh, I was just kidding out there.\" I said, \"She doesn't think you were kidding there.\" I says, \"I'm not going to leave her out on the lurch there.\" Back in those days you walked if you don't own a car. I go down there, and I pick her up. Won't go into rustic details, but I was down there probably for about eight or nine months, at least six nights a week. She had duty nights, some nights a weeks. Sitting on that front porch, now it's hard to believe that a grown man would tell this story, but we sat on that front porch or went walking up and down the streets for nine months. We became the best of friends, and it never got past that point. They don't believe it, and today's society, nobody would believe it, but her name was Ruth Hirsch. I wrote up to her, when it came time to go. She says, \"You're going to take deferment.\" I says, \"Oh no, I'm leaving.\" She says, \"You're leaving because of me?\" I says, \"No.\" I says, \"I'm getting ready to go.\" She was dating some guy from Camp Wheeler over there. I said, \"I'm going because I need to go.\" That was the end of it. Now you got my romantic story. You asked me what was the most [favorite memory] when I was young and without that, my experience with her was probably the most rewarding feeling for a young kid, 17 year old, have a 21 year old girl pay attention to him. I know this makes crazy on here and . . . I'm old enough to die before you can get this circulated too much. But that happens to be a very true story. It makes romance and the stories that were going on with what was happening with the girls here were fabulous. But that was one that I can speak for that I know what happened. The other girls couldn't believe it either, the ones that live in the dorm, that we would sit down there until two o'clock in the morning just talking to each other. It's hard for you to believe that I'm telling the truth.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=5573.0,5909.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/135","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eLEVY:\u003c/strong\u003e I believe it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=5909.0,5911.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/136","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOODRICH:\u003c/strong\u003e No one would be stupid enough to think of this story.

But these were experiences you had when you were young in a small town and you're Jewish. At the school up there and you are opening up a can of worms again and I'm going to quit on you in 15 minutes. When you were cadet officer up there, you had a cadet company, you had 100 guys under you. They had a program where you sponsored so many dances and dinners for your company there and you had to have a sponsor. Your own sponsor and since I was Jewish, I didn't date anybody and Ruth wasn't Jewish either, but you had have a sponsor there and I just didn't have any friends. My buddy, the one that crops up over at, J.C., crops up and says, \"I'll get you a sponsor.\" He drags me over to the high school and this beautiful blonde girl, Ann Smith, he asked the principal would he called, would she come out and speak to me about something for school? I knew her, a gorgeous girl comes out, and he says, \"Harold wants you to be his sponsor,\" and she just burst into tears. It was a tremendous honor because you're number one on everything out there. There were only four girls that would get it, and they were head of the parade, they were the head of this and reviews and . . . invite to everything, all the dinners and everything. She burst out crying on me. I didn't know what to do, 17 years old and not experienced with crying women. Yet, and then so she was my sponsor, and I worked the system out. When we'd go to a dance, I'd pick her up, take her to the dance and then her boyfriend would meet us in the parking lot after the dance. Everything went well and I could keep my other girlfriend pacified. I wanted her to be it, but they sent the word down from the president of the school down through my friend, J.C., no WAVES are going to be company sponsors. I was going to have her be my sponsor.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=5911.0,6048.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/137","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eLEVY:\u003c/strong\u003e For somebody who says you didn't have much experience, you had two girls going on at once.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=6048.0,6057.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/138","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOODRICH:\u003c/strong\u003e . . .

Fortunately, he was with a group here in town and he caught me in the emergency room, and he says, start me on this real fancy antibiotic.

If it had been my way, you would have all been going by the cemetery talking to me. But anyway, that's so much for that story there. The stories are endless on that particular one. That was my one experience going close to the Lord. I had one a month ago. No, I had one in Christmas where bleeding ulcers at the stomach not knowing that I really had it. Went to see the doctor because I was so weak. He threw me in the hospital. Three pints of blood later, he thought I was doing okay . . . good enough to go home and be monitored the next day. But anyway, you all got my case history. The only thing you didn't get, which I've only told recently, one person in the last four or five years, it's my skeleton in my closet. I'm going to tell you that at the age of 12, my parents decided I needed to play the violin. For the next two years, I took violin. We started with the number, \"Long, long ago.\" Two years later, I still couldn't play \"Long, long ago.\" Now you know my deepest, darkest secret of a man that made a mistake. I should have screamed and hollered and never taken violin. That's my real secret. That's the one I don't want you all to spread around in Atlanta that I played the violin and I was a total failure. I've been failures, but not total. That was a total failure that \"Long, long ago.\" You think about these things, you are all really bringing out the cobwebs. When I left the school, I was taking it when I was over here and when I went over to the military school over there at the high school, one of the piano players ladies there heard that I played the violin and she needed someone for program. She says, \"Harold, you've got to play your violin.\" I says, \"I can't play the violin.\" She says, \"You've got to play the violin.\" What do you say to a teacher? Back in those days, you didn't say no to a teacher. I bring the violin up and I get there and normally they ask for encores or play some other number. I played that number and you know, she said to me, \"Thank you.\" [Everyone laughs]","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=6640.0,6813.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/155","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eUNKNOWN:\u003c/strong\u003e Did you play \"Long, long ago?\"","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=6813.0,6816.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/156","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOODRICH:\u003c/strong\u003e Now you know my deepest, darkest secret.

But anyway, you've heard my stories and the aidless, I've got hundreds of them to tell of when you live in a small town like this, when everybody knows who you are, that brought on another story. One of the girls I was dating, I won't even tell you, one of the girl's up at the college there on Saturday night, if she was a senior and she was the senior, you could keep her out until 11 o'clock at night and she could ride in a car. See, they wouldn't allow them in the cars, and she could ride in a car. We were on this law-making [highway] road, parked. There was dirt. It ended about six or seven miles, and it's a big superhighway now, but it ended out there, dirt, end of nowhere. On this dirt road, we sat there a half hour, didn't see a car, I bet one car an hour didn't go down that road. I know, not even one an hour, we heard a plane blink a little bit and heard it quit, and it just happened that plane crashed over in Wilkinson County, but anyway, we're out there sitting there. We do, at that time, what conservative young people do, sitting and talking and so forth. The next day, I come down to the store down here and someone says, I saw you parked out on that highway out there, end of nowhere. Impossible to believe anybody even knew who I was, much less being at the end of nowhere. It just never paid in a small town to do anything that wasn't straight-laced. That's just one of those stories. You trigger these stories to go on with them on and along.

We're quitting after this last story. This was when I was in the service. It was after the war was over and it was Camp Lee in Virginia there. Christmas rolled around and they were sending us all home for Christmas, and they sent a special command car to pick me and two other guys up to catch the train in Petersburg, Virginia. We figured, gosh, the train must be holding the train up. Two of us rushing down. We rushed down there. There's 5,000 guys in line there to get on the train, not one, 5,000 in line there. They'd dump us there and its wintertime. This is about three o'clock in the afternoon. At two o' clock in the morning, finally the trains were coming through. They were loading up. It didn't make any difference where the train was going. The head of the line got on the train. Anyway, they're leaving there, and we get aboard about two o'clock. You had to go out, I don't know if you've gone much on a train. You go up on the platform there. Then there's a little alcove there. Then the main part of the train. Finally came out about two o'clock in the morning and overcoat and everything. I get up there and all I can get into [is] the little alcove coast there. There sits a beautiful young lady on . . . the little bench that sits there. There's three guys sitting, one on either side of her sitting there. I'm standing there hanging on, and we started talking and shooting the bull like people do in the service. It was just everybody's a buddy all of a sudden there. We're talking and I'm talking to her. We talk where you're from and all this kind of stuff. Where you're going and all that? We're talking about five, 5:30, one of the guys sitting next to her gets up and leaves. All these guys are standing around wanting to see who she's going to ask to sit down next to. She says, \"Harold, would you sit down with me?\" I sat down and she had a big fur coat. This is my fur coat story. She pulled the coat up over us. Nothing went on, believe me. I know it sounds impossible today, but believe me, back in those days, they've beat you to death. We're sitting there and I'm cuddled up against her, and we go to sleep there. Here comes three guys. This sounds like a story, right? Here comes three guys from the Naval Academy. One of them is from Milledgeville, a Wilson boy. I know him. He sees me there, sitting there with this gal with the fur coat pulled up. All up over there. He says, \"Harold, what are you doing here?\" I says, \"I'm resting.\" He goes on the line. Thirty-five years later, at a reunion in GMC, this kid shows up. I says, \"Come over here and tell my wife where I was on that damn train.\" Okay. Finished off with an unusual story, 35 years later. He'd already been in the Navy, I don't know if he was an admiral or something, got out of the Navy, and he came back to the reunion at GMC. I dragged him right over to my wife. She thought I made that story up.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=7939.0,8124.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/205","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eLEVY:\u003c/strong\u003e Now you have proof.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=8124.0,8125.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/transcript/85961/annotation/206","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOODRICH:\u003c/strong\u003e I have proof.

We were all poor and we all enjoyed each other. The Jews as well. One thing that I've learned through the years, in small towns, Jews have to be rich and smart. Side story, we all went to GMC up there. Good military school, discipline and a good education. We had one relative go to school up there, did not bear the flag. She was a sweet girl, dumb as sin. She did graduate from up there by the grace of G-d. I don't know who else helped her out, but I know G-d and G-d had granted. All of us, there were 14 or 15 of us went up there, either number one, number two, number three in every class all the way. They expect all Jews to be smart and rich.

The First Russian Revolution did not overthrow the Tsarist autocracy or eliminate the restrictions placed on the Jewish population of the Pale of Settlement, but it did give rise to Russia's first democratically elected parliament and resulted in some improved opportunities for Jews within the Russian Empire. During the final phase of World War I, in 1917, another revolution took place, which replaced Russia's traditional monarchy with the world's first communist state. Although the new communist government replaced the centuries-old official antisemitism of the Tzars, deeply ingrained antisemitic attitudes made Jews suspects of potential opposition.

In Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, concentration camps (Konzentrationslager; briefly “KL” or “KZ”) were an integral feature of the regime. The Nazis differentiated between concentration camps, which were used to contain slave laborers and prisoners of the Nazi state, and extermination camps, whose primary purpose was the systematic killing of prisoners. Shortly after coming to power in 1933, the Nazis began to set up a series of concentration camps across Germany. Those were mostly local initiatives: facilities that the SA, SS, and police established on an ad hoc basis, where they would detain and abuse real and imagined enemies of the regime. By 1934, there were over 100 of these early camps in operation. When the Nazi regime came to power, they systematically persecuted both Jewish and non-Jewish Germans perceived to be opponents of the regime. Political opponents (Communists, Social Democrats, liberals) were some of the first victims housed in “temporary” detention centers like Lichtenburg. Jews, homosexuals, Freemasons, Jehovah's Witnesses, clergy who opposed the Nazis, and any others whose behavior—real or perceived—could be interpreted as being in opposition to Nazi political and racial ideologies were also persecuted and incarcerated. The Nazi regime refused to tolerate criticism, dissent, or nonconformity from the German people. Non-Jewish German political activists were treated harshly but other political opponents remained potentially valuable members of the German race. The goal behind their internment in and subsequent release from concentration camps was often a kind of reeducation that would see them fall into line with the regime’s political and racial ideologies. Between 1933 and 1939, tens of thousands of Germans were sentenced by the criminal courts. If authorities were confident of a conviction in court, the prisoner was turned over to the justice system for trial. If the outcome of criminal proceedings were unsatisfactory, the acquitted citizen or the citizen who was sentenced to a suspended sentence would still be taken into “protective detention” and incarcerated in a concentration camp. The first concentration camps were established in 1933. Various authorities set up the makeshift “camps” in empty warehouses, factories, and other locations. Camps were established in Oranienburg, north of Berlin; Esterwegen, near Hamburg; Dachau, northwest of Munich; and Lichtenburg, in Saxony. By the end of July 1933, almost 27,000 people were housed in these camps. Most of the prisoners were political opponents of the Nazi regime. By the end of 1934, most of these early camps were disbanded and replaced by a centrally organized concentration camp system under the exclusive jurisdiction of the SS.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588#t=4133.0,4284.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/162813/file/296588/annotation_set/2116/annotation/320","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eReform Judaism is a division within Judaism, especially in North America and the United Kingdom.
