It is hard to imagine now just how sheltered and racially segregated a life we lived in the 1950’s. My five sisters and brothers and I grew up in an all-white, heavily German and English neighborhood on the fringes of Philadelphia. Our most exotic neighbor was the gorgeous Hungarian mother of a schoolmate, who had a sexy accent and wore lots of jewelry and makeup in the DAYTIME! Even the cleaning ladies were German.
