My grandparents were Catholics who emigrated to this country just before WW1. They were from the Alsace Lorraine region which now belongs to the French but was part of Germany prior to WW2 I believe
My mom said my grandmother would listen to Hitler’s speeches on the radio and she really liked him and what he had to say. He was a powerful speaker who gave the Germans hope
Because of how the Americans treated the Germans after WW1 my grandparents never spoke German after the war. So my mom who was born here never learned to speak it.
