I WAS born in Oppenau, Germany, in 1911, just three years before the outbreak of World War I. My parents, Joseph and Frida Bruder, had 17 sons and daughters.
NILIZALIWA huko Oppenau, Ujerumani, mwaka wa 1911, miaka mitatu tu kabla ya Vita vya Kwanza vya Ulimwengu. Wazazi wangu, Joseph na Frida Bruder, walikuwa na wana na binti 17.
