INDIANA HARBOR-—Mrs. Ottilia Kaska,
apolis beginning their lives anew.
Some have succeeded in rehabili- €- tating themselves and some have found a measure of security. Few wanted to leave Germany. “I love Germany,’ one of them said. “I love Germany more than myself.” He was talking about the Germany of Wagner and Goethe and Kant, the Germany of Alps and biergartens and black forests and green fields. Then he said, “But I do not love Hitler. I could not stay.”
Fled Germany Last May .
This man fled last May. He tells his story in broken English, searching for words. The son of a prosperous family, he served three years in the war and -. was wounded twice. Afterwards he went into business with his father who had founded a small wholesale drygoods business 50 years ago. After a time he married, and managed the business. Then Hitler came into power. Men appeared in front of the store bearing signs forbidding citizens to trade there because the place was operated by a non-Aryan, he said. Townspeople were warned they would lose their
| jobs or their pensions if they traded
with him. Social privileges were denied him and his wife. His two children could not have gone to public schools, could not have studied for professional lives. One day, among a collection of souvenirs, he found pictures of some distant relatives in the United States. He contacted them, and they made out affidavits declaring .that he would not become a public charge if he came to America. He came to Indianapolis, and his relatives helped him find a modest house and a job as a clerk. Now he has taken out his first citizenship papers. Gradually, he is becoming adjusted.
Man of Culture
His is only one story. Another is that of a young lawyer, graduated from Heidelberg. A man of culture and education, he entered a Berlin law firm in 1932. In 1933, he was refused the right to practice. So in 1934, he came here and worked in a warehouse as a stock clerk. Now he has brought his. family to Indianapolis. A third family of five lives in .a 1 humble - house on’ the South: Side. They have little money. When news
