LAFAYETTE, La. â An Air Force veteran says what he experienced in Nazi Germany is something that no child should ever go through.
In November of 1938, Nazi Germans destroyed thousands of Jewish stores, places of worship and homes, including Manny Klepperâs.
âThey just demolished everything in our place and at our neighbor s place.â said Klepper. âI mean everything was demolished.â
Shortly after the massive destruction, they were rounded up to watch the cold-blooded execution of five people, including three people he personally knew.
