In Germany at that time there wasn’t much intercourse between the ‘real’ German Jews and the Polish German Jews. I suppose the Germans always thought that they weren’t going to be attacked; the only people who were going to be sent away were the Polish Jews. And I don’t know of any friends that we had who were not Polish, or of Polish parentage somehow.
