The word Nazi is an acronym and a negative noun or adjective. It stood for National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: National sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP). a far-right political party in Germany in Hitler’s Germany. World War II’s patriotic German Americans struggled with incarceration, denigration and continued anti German feelings in post war cities.     This my story of growing up in a Jewish neighborhood “Frankfurt on the Hudson "“in New York City. Family ties covered European countries pre and post war. We lost relatives both German and Jewish during the War
