Narrative, but it definitely adds layers to it. Interviewer leslie swift , thank you very much. Kurt klein my name is kurt klein , and i was born in a town called waldorf which is very close to heidelberg in germany. Interviewer tell me about your parents and your family . Kurt klein i grew up in the postworld war i era, and of course, those were very difficult times. My parents were struggling to get along during this economic chaos that existed during those times. You may remember, there was this very serious inflation, i mean ludicrous in a sense, such as s has never been seen before and that made it very difficult to carry on. My father had a business that was made extremely difficult because of the Economic Conditions that existed after world war i. He was a broker for hops and tobacco and grain that he would buy from the farmers in the town that we lived in, and my mother helped him all she could. Of course, they, along with so many others, were struggling to exist in those days.
