I was only a boy of 4, collecting rents and making small loans to other kids on the street, candy today, pay tomorrow, low interest rates, you know how it is...when the Germans came. The grabbed me made me march for days to Buchenwald Concentration camp. I had to pull a cart of Jews too old to walk, by myself 300 kilometers, the Germans said “Schneller Jude! Noch Schneller! Then I escaped! I was free like a flock of seagulls, and I ran, I ran so far away. I just ran, I ran all night and day. Couldn't get away. They caught me outside of Berlin, offering reverse mortgages to other jews, 10 pfennig on the RM is a better price than your going to get from anybody those days, be reasonable! I have overhead and expenses! So to Tribunal I went, pulling a Tiger Tank that had a flat. They tried to gas me but I held my breath, and when the loaded me onto the cart to go to the oven, I made a dash for it! I was able to run through Siberia, swimming over the ice in the Bering Straits with the help of a polar bear, and then into Alaska, where I made low interest loans for snowmobiles and became very successful. I survived!
