Occasionally just a mite too quaint, their courtship is spurred on by their mutual admiration of fruits. While Fraulein Schneider is greatly pleased with the apples and peaches, the pineapple proves quite overwhelming--such a gift"...it is not proper...it makes me blush."

During World War II he was sent by the Nazis to Auschwitz. After Soviet troops liberated the death camp, he worked for the U.S. Army repairing type writers. Then he went into business on his own, eventually getting into the manufacture of pocket calculators...
