I remember the kids used to call my mother a Nazi because her accent sounded German. They were kids and didn't know any better but looking back I know it must have hurt her because that's who she fled. She lost two brothers to the Nazis in the war too.

I go out of my way to welcome all immigrants because I know how nasty people are, even to the children.
