...leave Vienna very soon. Therefore I appeal in our great trouble to you--an Aryan--and ask you whether you, perhaps through your esteemed parents or another noble-minded personality, would be so good as to provide us with an affidavit." Thus writes Catherine Spiegler, a typical oppressed German Jewess, to Samuel Burrit Lacy, Jr. '41, who claims she is a perfect stranger...

Glowing with indignation against the "diabolical paganism behind Nazi and Communist persecutions," he reminded Catholics that Jesus was a Jew and "our beloved Mother Mary" a Jewess, offered a slogan on which the Church and the Hearst press might well agree: "The time to fight in America is NOW."

Neither she nor her husband has ever been a genuine mill worker...
...children. She has traveled round the world, once won an automobile driving contest, driving 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) a day. In her teens she decided not to follow the family trade of writing, instead became an actress under Max Reinhardt. When the Nazis came into power, although no Jewess, she was divorced from her Nazi husband (Gustaf Gründgens, now head of the Berlin State Theatre), and produced a satirical political revue, Peppermill, in Munich, her birthplace. For this piece of audacity she had to flee Germany and her citizenship was revoked by Adolf Hitler...
