Heil Roosevelt, An American Student in Nazi Germany, includes a detailed description of my experiences during an exchange fellowship in 1938-1939 from Lafayette College in Pennsylvania to the University of Frankfurt. As an introduction to a 1600 mile bicycle trip during the year, included is a detailed description of a trip to Vienna during the Sudetan crisis which ended in the Munich Agreement in 1938. Perhaps the most disturbing experience I had was viewing the deportation of the Jewish peole to concentration camps. Other experiences included Kristallnacht in Frankfurt, Christmas spent in Hamburg with relatives I had never met, a visit to Berlin, an invitation to teach English to German teachers in camps run by the Ministry of Education, a Strength through Joy trip to Italy with 2,200 German workers and 2 Americans, a bicycle trip to Prague during the invasion of Czechoslavia by German troops, life on a German farm run by Nazis and a confrontation with the Germans during a farewell party in Frankfurt.
