Rothstein

A Jewish butcher owned a shop in Berlin. Under the Nuremberg Race Laws, he was forbidden from doing business with any non-Jewish Germans.

In 1938, Peggy Druce bought a leg of chicken from his shop. The butcher was nervous to be selling to a Gentile but took Peggy's business. He also gave her good service, offering to bone the chicken leg so it would weigh less and she would have to use fewer ration coupons.

As Druce left the butcher shop, the Gestapo was enraged that she had defied the Nuremberg Race Laws. They demanded to see her identity papers. Instead she showed them her US passport. She knew they dared not offend a powerful neutral country by molesting its citizens, and she relished their frustration at their inability to punish her. So instead they brutalized the butcher.
