I remember that. But you see, he [thought] there
was this crazy man, and he would go away, because
people would learn that it was crazy.
You're saying your father would refer to Hitler
as the crazy man?
Right, yes.
Do you remember if your father ever experienced
any kind of discrimination as a Jew?

that. And he said it would all change, everything
would be fine. And that he--he was more at home.

A violin was his hobby. He made violins, he fixed
it. A geigenbaumeister, it' s one who repairs
violins and strings them, makes them, and so he
returned to that in workshop.

[Laughs]
[Laughs] We' re trying to help you, the
transcriber.
G-U-G-E-N-B-A-U-M-E-I-S-T-E-R [sic].
I hope the transcriber appreciates this!
[Editor's note: She did.]
