The family was in this train going through Europe toward a port, and I don't even know what the port was. My father did tell me this, a man in the compartment died and my grandfather went and took his passport. He didn't have a passport, so he took this man's passport and the man's name was Eplan. It's another amazing story about that, it may not be relevant to anything you want, but my father always told me that his father was the only one to use the name. I was a young buyer, and I was at the Barbizon in New York [New York] where young buyers stayed, and I was single. I came up the elevator, went to my room and the phone ring, and this young man, to make a long story short, said, \"I'm your cousin George Eplan, I'd like to meet you.\" I said, \"It's a great line, but there aren't any other Eplans.\" He said, \"Yes, there were. There was a second brother. I'm from Philadelphia [Pennsylvania], and I'm a plumber.\" Now, mind you, this was in the 1940's. I had never heard of a Jewish plumber, they were all merchants, or lawyers, or doctors. He said, \"I'd like to meet you.\" Anyway, I said, \"My assistant's coming in, in a couple of hours.\" He said, \"Then I'll be waiting for you in the bar. By the way, I'm on my honeymoon, and my wife will be with me.\" I met him in the bar at the St. Moritz across the street from the Barbizon. Sure enough, I walked in the door, and he was just a typical Eplan, this thick, straight, black hair, slanty, green eyes, hooked nose. But I had trouble conversing with him. I never tried to at that point. I've done it a lot since, carry on a conversation with a plumber. I never met him again. One of his aunts did call me one day and we chatted. I really always wanted to meet them, and I've looked them up in the phone book and recently on the internet. They still exist. They have some of the same names that we have in our family. But the rest of the brothers were Hermans, and they lived here, or Charlotte's father lived here. The one my father was closest to was Joe Herman, who lived in New Orleans [Louisiana]. Her father was Sam Herman, like the Sams all through the Eplan family, so the names persist.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/161911/file/294117#t=587.0,748.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/161911/file/294117/transcript/85142/annotation/27","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eBERMAN:\u003c/strong\u003e Let's talk a little bit about your childhood and where you grew up.

The community was very Protestant. When we moved, one house on Brookridge, my next door neighbor was Catholic and they had a daughter my age, and I don't think I'd ever met a Catholic. There weren't many Catholics in this part of the country, and I think Jews felt isolated, but it just was never a problem with me. My parents, my father was so dominant, and he ignored the whole thing. His ego was so satisfactory that if anybody didn't like Jews or ostracized Jews, that was their problem. He thought they were just stupid, that's all, and so we grew up with that attitude. He moved very easily through the black community. He was on Hartsfield's . . . Hartsfield had a staff of volunteer people in the community. Hartsfield fascinates me, came into office as a real segregationist, an old-fashioned. I don't know how much you know about him, I'm sure you know a lot more than I do. But he just woke up one morning, it appears according to Daddy and decided that segregation was bad for the city. He didn't care about anything else, what color people were . . . they were bad for the city. That was it, and that's when he said we're too busy to hate. He called his staff together and they began this novel integration, housing integration south of the city that was, I'm sure Leon can tell you more than I did. The development of Collier Heights had an enormous amount to do with the integration of the community. Now our housing is still not really integrated. Where I live, there are blacks. As a matter of fact, there's a couple of young black gays who live down the street from me, and they have two little boys. They're both doctors. But it was never really an issue with me. I don't even remember an incident. There were no blacks in the schools . . . Daddy was so active in it. Hartsfield said, that's a wonderful story. I'm sure you're familiar with Ellis Arnall's book, The Shore Dimly Seen. There's a story in there about Daddy and the golf courses. Did you ever read it? I just loved the story. Hartsfield said to Daddy, \"We're going to start integration with the golf courses because the golfers are educated, and they don't have to touch each other.\" Which is a pretty typical remark from Hartsfield. He said to Daddy, \"I called you in because I know you tee off at 6:30 on Sunday morning.\" I don't remember whether he went to Chastain [Park Golf Course] or Bobby Jones [Golf Course]. But Daddy got there at 6:30 in the morning with his foursome. There were benches on the first tee, and they said, \"Go home, nigger.\" Daddy's main part of the story is trying to find a pay phone in that neighborhood. There weren't any cell phones. But he found a payphone, and he called Hartfield and told him what happened.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/161911/file/294117#t=1643.0,1872.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/161911/file/294117/transcript/85142/annotation/77","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eBERMAN:\u003c/strong\u003e One of his foursome was an African American?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/161911/file/294117#t=1872.0,1877.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/161911/file/294117/transcript/85142/annotation/78","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eGOLDSMITH:\u003c/strong\u003e No. They . . . chose this course because they knew that that's where they would play early in the [morning] . . .

Thirty minutes later Hartsfield arrived with a paddy wagon [police van], two paddy wagons, I think.

The telephone men were there installing telephones, and other people were there to move, activate is the word, to activate this community . . . Everybody they called were supposed to call the UN.

She was visiting and she didn't speak English, I don't think. It's unbelievable. This is Chuck Taylor's grandmother, and she said, \"What are you doing? It's Shabbos.\" Bert said, \"It's okay mother, we have to do this today.\" \"No, you cannot do it. You must send them away. They can't install phones.\" This was all in Yiddish, which I don't understand. Bert says, \"Carolyn, go get Rabbi Epstein.\" He lived on Lenox, so it wasn't far. \"Go get Rabbi Epstein and bring him here\" on Saturday morning. \"She will not let us unless a rabbi tells her it's all right. I walked over to Lenox Road. Rabbi Epstein came to the door in his robe, and he said, \"I'll be right back.\" Ran and got dressed. We walked back. He took Bert's mother into the bedroom and explained to her that the Tanach {Hebrew Bible] allows you to break the Sabbath in defense of the state, and that satisfied her.
