At the time I belonged to the socialist party, and Hitler came to power.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was a student in Germany when Hitler came to power.
I lived under the Nazis and under the Communists.
I joined the Communist Party late in 1934. I got out a year and a half later.
In 1930 I became a member of the Reichstag.
My father was an ardent socialist for many years.
I joined the Communist Party because I felt I had to be in some organization.
I grew up in a strongly socialist family. While I was at school, I worked in party politics and with organizations like the Anti-Nazi League. Everywhere I saw it, I fought prejudice.
When I was in college, I was always saying I was a socialist.
I was a Democrat for a period of time early on. And then I was also an independent. And then I became a Republican.
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist.
