Many lied about their “race” when interrogated. In one instance, a soldier buried his Army-issue Jewish prayer book in the dirt of Germany...
...Jerry's is getting fat on America's growing appetite for so-called super-premium ice cream, brands made with natural ingredients and plenty of butterfat.

This is the tango that got its start in the bordellos of Buenos Aires a century ago and even today seems almost shocking in its arrant sensuality.
