Incidentally, there used to be a big German community in NYC in the East Village, but it split up after a major ferry boat disaster killed scores of their children on an outing. I guess that caused them to spread out and "take over." Since Franklin Roosevelt, one of the "Germans" to this fellow's way of thinking, stopped Nazism dead in its tracks, hard to see how that is a bad thing.
That ferry accident killed many mothers in that community, not just the children.
I live in Yorkville, which used to be another large German community, and I am told that the remnant of that parish was absorbed up here, by a church that still holds a mass in German (even though most of the German speakers have moved away or died of old age).
