Coincidally, Cold War required a new
spirit, changing research and new attitudes & refugees. Thousands of new exiles from Germany &
Germans from formerly German occupied territories became the leading professors
of the USA.
Many needed Bruno as interpreter
although not as an equal until he met their children & had to prepare them
for rural schools in the USA while their “poor” Mothers were supposed to do
rustic work.
The kids boasted about their usually
missing fathers’, having to take over formerly Jewish homes &
businesses.
That perhaps helped me seek an answer
to Berkeley’s Administration “finding out” that a 2-yr’s residence was needed
in their Graduate Division before the parchment with the Ph.D. in history could
be delivered.
At once I made an agreement with 2
nice white boys from Arkansas who knew that by keeping down the Blacks, the
Whites could also not get up in education.
They took care of much of my 2 janitorial jobs in one building across
from S.F.’s K Station.
Freed a lot, I bused to Palo Alto to
use my graduate stacks privileges. All I
got to swallow, was water & bread.
In about half the time of wait &
waste, I had found out what was needed for a gigantic volume on Germany &
Nazis, as the only well-researched, true & non-partisan record on Nazism.
Dr. Franklin Palm, majored in French
History, although of German origine. He
observed my concentrated research by proving with the U.S. Generals’
confiscated records the fairness of my own experience in German lands.
In Braunschweig’s Seesen, I was considered a dummy, as I
arrived there in March 1923. It took
Soccer accidents, to get me noticed.
As Nazi
stormtrooper’s conquered that small state mid-1920, they saw in me a
smartie. I was put in charge of debates,
the teacher library with its valuable archives.
They allowed me lots of privileges until I graduated in 1931. After that, I was on my own.
My answer was
self-education at about 20 hrs. a day.
My preoccupation gave me small-wages’ teaching jobs & special
distinction from Hamburg’s Banker Warburg and his orthodox girls’ seminars in
his library.
I was also well-treated
by the Nazi “Schul” superintendent, party-leaders as the last Jewish
teacher. Likewise during my transport
& even somewhat in the Concentration Camp of Sachsenhausen-Oraneinburg. They let me escape after only 10 or 11 days
in it.
With too many friends
among enemies, I made it to the Freeport at Shanghai, China.
There I did
everything to play my games, secret or openly arrogantly because on the ship
there I was the ping-pong partner of huge Takahashi San whose mother was Dutch
while his father was related to the Empress Hirohito who made him direct the
Co-Prosperity Zone.
I placed all
secrets I was confided with a number of language papers. I was told when World War II was to begin in
Shanghai &, with the new V.P. of Domei News service, I tried in vain to
prevent it. Washington, London, The
Hague wanted more facts.
In the Hoover
Library at Palo Alto I did well & soon showed Prof. Palm the 1-yr.
results. That good man was delighted
& tried for publication by U.C. Berkeley Press.
But the Cold War
was my defeat. It almost took my entire
2nd waiting year for my degree.
The new had of the history department was a refugee from
Sudetenland. Instead of author of the
best World War II book, he threatened my arrest as Communist spy.
There also went my
jobs until I had to write anonymously for politicians & lobbyists. At nearly 90 I started authoring over 20
unique books. See my booklist! See my popular Internet site, http://www.drbrunojkeith.com,
as the simple solution for complicated problems if politicians had the time to
read & better a bad world.
Divine Wisdom as
guide in World War II? In 300 of their
pages, the Society for Christian – Jewish Cooperation published in 2002 my book
they named “My Struggle To Survive in a World of Prejudices”. There is no mentioning how my freezing &
starving Mother Julie was gassed & burned somewhere not certainly known
when aged about 73. She went to the same
death as her sister Emma, around 83, who never harmed anyone.
My sister Helen was
in her mid-thirties as she was selected to be martyred. Sister Gertrude married & with a daughter
brought up as a British Protestant was tortured before assassinated the most
cruel way. Her husband Hans was possibly
shot after torture. So were uncles &
cousins & more remote relatives.
This uncertainty,
about a year – long suffering was well-documented in Arolsen but hidden for 60
years to protect German families. Who is
still alive to be thus humiliated, punished or paid for sin? Are the Persian Holocaust deniers or suicidal
terrorists more beast-like than other people of violence, crime & ancient
relition?
