That's when WSB TV went on the air, and I put my dad on commercials on WSB. Real cheap, back then, they weren't on all day long. They used to come on late in the afternoon or whatever, and before that they had a test pad. We bought commercials on the test pad, about Robley Hats and whatever. There was a section in the Atlanta Journal, because the Constitution was a separate newspaper at the time, about businesses and whatever and I can't remember the name of the man running that, but he was a Jewish gentleman, also Schwartz or something like that, and we used to run these little ads about hats. We had some cute slogans, bring in your head, we've got the body, the hat body, of course. Then they did cleaning and blocking. He used to sell a wonderful hat for $6.50 and give you lifetime blocking on it, that kind of thing. It grew, it was never a huge business, but it grew.

He's still around, Alex. He booked me on a boat and my sister, Betsy, had great musical talent. She's a pianist and she studied at Juilliard in New York. While at Juilliard in the New York, she met a bunch of people, was a classmate of Van Cliburn. I'm dropping names, but there were several French guys in the crowd that she ran around with.

I got on this boat and went to Paris, landed at Le Havre, took a train to Paris. I'm hot and sweaty I get to the hotel, and it's a nice little room, there's a wash basin. Where do you take a bath or a shower? The lady kept saying to me, \"demain [French: tomorrow], demain.\" I kind of knew that might meant 'tomorrow', but I wasn't sure and I couldn't understand why the heck can't I get a shower tonight? I am not the kind of person to call somebody up and say, \"hey, I'm here, do something for me.\" I swear to you, I wasn't going to call this lady, Micheline, until the end of the week and say thank you so much for getting me the room but I was stuck.  I handed the lady from the hotel, who didn't speak any English, this phone number. I said, \"telephone, telephone,\" make motions.

I'm up the street.\" Long story short, my two weeks in Europe ended up to be three months and something. We fell in love, and I stayed over three months. Writing letters back and calling back home, \"I'll be there, I'll be there.\" I finally said, \"Micheline, look, I came to see Europe and not just Paris.

I finally left and I went into Italy, Switzerland and Italy and I made a big mistake. I was reading a book called Exodus. Leon Uris' book about Israel, on this trip, and it got me so excited.

Go to the beach.\" Alright, so I went the beach, and I was by myself, I knew nothing stupidly. I wandered around and everybody I met, I felt was very antagonistic. In fact, one day in a restaurant or a place, I had met somebody that was on the ship with me, and we were talking and he says to me, \"You American Jews, you come over here and you think you own the place.\" I restrained myself because normally I might have really chewed his butt out real good. I just didn't feel very welcome, so again, I did something I normally don't do. I had a date shortly before leaving with a young girl in Atlanta named Srochi, of the famous bread family, Alan Srochi's sister, I believe. S-C-H-R-O-C H-I, I think. When I picked her up for this date . . . and it was probably my one and only date with her, they had company at the house. One of them being a woman and we sat down and chatted. Turns out her husband was head of the Hebrew University Medical School over there, and she was president, world president of Hadassah. I told her I was going to go, and she gave me her name and phone. P.S. After three or four days in Tel Aviv, I'm miserable. I'm ready to leave this country. I don't want any part of it. I called her up, she said, \"Young man, first of all, get out of Tel Aviv, and you come to Jerusalem. You don't want to be in Tel Aviv, and I'm having a party tonight, dinner party, you're coming to my house.\" It was a lot of diplomats and people like that, and she was very pleasant. She was lovely to me.

My mom and dad were there, which was very significant for my mom and dad to be there for this wedding. We were married later here in Atlanta by Jack Rothschild. What happened was, in 1962 the Atlanta Art Museum, Woodruff Art Center, had this group going to Paris and all over Europe for an art thing, and I had been a member of the Art Museum because of Arthur Harris and had an art connection for many years. I wanted Mom and Dad to go, they'd never been. I was now in the business at Robley Hats. It was a great opportunity for them to see Europe and also to meet Micheline's parents. Micheline was there at the time. As you may or may not know, that Air France plane crashed upon takeoff at Orly in June of 1962. It was 190-some-odd Atlantans on board, including my mom and dad, Saul and Mildred Gerson. Micheline and her parents were at Orly at the time, and they saw the whole thing. She called me on the phone. I had known about it already because several people called me on the phone and urged me not to come, not to go there and I didn't.

I used to see these customers walking in, white and black and pass by my dad, pass by me, go right to Robert in the back to steam the hat, or to do this, or give him what they wanted to buy and whatever. Robert would make sales and then when the money came, Robert would hand the money to my father, and my dad would bring it up on the register. I said to my dad one day at night, I says, \"Dad, why is not Robert ringing up his own sales? He's been with us for years?\" My father said, \"You're right, why not?\" Now, what was the result of that? The result of that was that rumor had it that Robert Campbell was the first black gentleman in a white-owned store in downtown Atlanta who could go to the cash register. For those of you who have been living in Atlanta long enough, you know there was a boycott. I am told by a very reliable source that Dr. Martin Luther King's dad, Daddy King, said from the pulpit of the Ebenezer Baptist Church one Sunday, \"We got a boycott, but there's two stores you can go to, Sears Roebuck and Robley Hats.\" That to me is a very thrilling memory. We had a big following in the black community. As a matter of fact, Dr. King stopped at the store with an entourage on the way to the airport to get his Nobel Prize and bought a hat. The business prospered, and then in 1962 when I lost my dad and mom, I had it by myself.  I added other things to the store, clothing, furnishings, did another store up the street called Kicks and Lids, which was hats and shoes. Over the years, we went to Greenbriar Mall and the Southlake Mall, and then, talk about chutzpah, I went out to Lenox Square and walked in on Albert Barr, who was the leasing agent, had a reputation of being \"Grrr\". Anyway, he said, \"Yes, I like the idea.\" We bought a store at Lenox, which was a huge success and I'm not patting myself on the back. The business went from, you know, about $200,000 a year to over $2 million. Some years back, I decided it's time to take it easy a little bit, and we sold one store to a Korean gentleman, sold another store to Chinese gentleman, and I was left with just the Lenox store, and after the Olympics here in [1996], again, Mr. Barr was very, very generous to me and said, \"Take a walk.\" I still have a website selling hats just because I wanted to keep my hand at it. It's not doing a lot of business, but I don't care, and I'm very, very busy in retirement. Don't ask me doing what, but the problem is I don't get a day off anymore.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/163426/file/297490#t=3920.0,4158.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/163426/file/297490/transcript/86953/annotation/261","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eWEINTRAUB:\u003c/strong\u003e What day was your final day in the store?

My father-in-law, Jacques, had the sense enough to get out of Paris early and they packed their bags, and they left and they went to Marseille and the south part of France at the time was known as Vichy. It was unoccupied France. They went to Marseille for a while and to Bordeaux and the Germans were not bothering anybody in Vichy, France at the time. They ended up in Cannes, France, along with other Jewish friends of theirs from their local temple, which was called rue Copernic, after the street it was on, rue Copernic in the 16th district of France. It consisted of some families that we still know of today, the Lodes [sp] being one of them that we remember. Another family named Dassault in the aviation business. Anyway, to make a long story short, a lot of Jewish people went down to that part of France and it, at the time, was occupied by the Italian. Micheline, of course she was a young girl, so we're talking about six, seven, eight, nine years old. She recalls incidents like her mother riding on a bicycle for quite some time to go find groceries and then waiting in line in front of a store to buy something and then getting to the first in line and saying, \"I'm sorry, there's no more left for the Jew.\" They had some incidents like that, even in the south of France. As you know, if you know your history, the French themselves weren't too pleasant to the Jewish people in many, many instances. In other instances, they were received well and hidden on many occasions. Micheline went to a school in Cannes, which exists today, called Lycée Carnot. As I said, exists today. We pass by it all the time. One of her classmates was a gentleman, a young kid by the name of . . . you ask me now and I can't remember, but I think he's a very well-known banker today who converted to Catholicism. But they used to call him so-and-so the little Jew when he was a kid. It wasn't always pleasant but by golly they managed to survive. They lived in a hotel there. The Italians, Micheline tells me, didn't bother anybody. They were more interested in swimming on the beach and having a good time, but then when Italy and Germany fell out, things changed somewhat and there were some Germans down in that part of the world, but it was still Vichy, France so it wasn't as dangerous a situation as it was of course in the occupied portion of France. They were lucky, they managed to survive. As I said, other people that they knew did not, they went to Auschwitz.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/163426/file/297490#t=4833.0,5074.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/163426/file/297490/transcript/86953/annotation/318","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eWEINTRAUB:\u003c/strong\u003e After the war the family returned to Paris.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/163426/file/297490#t=5074.0,5078.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/163426/file/297490/transcript/86953/annotation/319","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGERSON:\u003c/strong\u003e Yes, that's an interesting story.

The door was open, and the apartment had been totally looted. There was nothing left. My father-in-law had a pretty decent collection of artwork and Chinese art in particular and so on that has just disappeared. The story goes too, the one time some years later as he was passing by an antique store in Paris and he sees this ancient jade vase, which I can show you over there in the library, and he walked into the store and said, \"That was mine. It was stolen by the Germans.\" The owner of the shop said, \"You'll have to prove that.\" He said, \"It just so happens, sir, that I can,\" and he went home and brought back to the store a handmade base in wood, which was made for that vase, fitted it exactly.

The Nazis aimed to unite all Germans as national comrades, whilst excluding those deemed either to be community aliens or of a foreign race. The Nazis sought to improve the stock of the Germanic people through racial purity and eugenics, broad social welfare programs, and a disregard for the value of individual life, which could be sacrificed for the good of the Nazi state and the “Aryan master race.” Following a series of electoral victories, President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Hitler chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933.

As dictator of Nazi Germany, he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and was a central figure of the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler applied for entrance into the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria twice and was twice rejected, once in 1907 and again in 1908. For the next five years, Hitler struggled to earn money by selling small paintings, mostly images of buildings and other landmarks in Vienna that he copied from postcards.

In his autobiographical manifesto, Mein Kampf, Hitler claimed that his antisemitic views formed during his time as a struggling artist in Vienna. His frustrated art career became part of the myth making—by Hitler himself and by his followers—that helped drive his fateful rise to power in Germany. Hitler was drafted for Austrian military service at the beginning of World War I but turned down due to lack of fitness. After moving to Germany, he enlisted as a German soldier in the summer of 1914 and was deployed to Belgium in October. Over the next two years, Hitler served first as an infantryman and then as a private. He won two decorations for bravery, including the Iron Cross First Class and was wounded twice.
