Quote:My father was transferred into the Lithuanian diplomatic corps after about 1927, and he and my mother were stationed in East Prussia. We always lived in a hostile environment. The only two people that I could talk to intensely day after day were my mother and father; everyone else around me was a German.

Adolf Hitler drove by our house a couple of times, and people went insane. Hordes of German housewives and househusbands, people that I knew, who were all living in the same apartment complex together, were tearing themselves psychically to pieces all over the sidewalk, just watching the man go by. They weren’t simply shouting or clapping their hands or going ‘hooray,’ they were going through an animal frenzy to the point where some of them were having what I guess were epileptic seizures. Others were defecating in our bushes, couldn’t control their bowels. I remember a guy hopping across our lawn with his pants around his knees, tugging desperately at his underpants, trying to get to a bush; and men and women rolling on the ground, writhing, clutching at each other. A hell of a thing to see.
