Kurt Geuder interviewed by Blake Johnson, Calgary, March 2018



1. How old were you when the Second World War started, and where were you living in Nuremberg at the time?



I was close to eight years old I lived in the southern portion of Nuremberg. My parents owned a grocery store, milk store (which was separate from groceries), and a deli downtown which was run by my aunt. This is a picture of the store which my parents owned in Downtown Nuremberg”
