Herta Rogalla and her mother at Charlottenburg Palace. Herta was our housekeeper in Frankfurt in 1960 and she really became a part of our family in later years when she lived in DC, she got to know my grandparents and various aunts, uncles, and cousins, and she really was almost like another aunt to us all. She spoke excellent English and moved to the DC area for several years later in the 1960s before eventually returning to West Germany. She was a Berliner and her mother had lived in Berlin all her life, including during the War. I wish I had asked them to tell me some of the stories of their lives!
