15. A similar story changed the life of a Senator

SC’s long time Dem Senator Fritz Hollings was on leave in the state near the end of the war. The state had several large German POW camps.
He went to a restaurant one day, and a soldier came in and announced that they were bringing a German work crew in for lunch, and they would seat them all at several tables in the back corner.
He said about 20 POW’s came in, guarded by a white officer and 3 black privates. (there was obviously no real chance of them escaping).
He said that as soon as they were seated, the three black soldiers walked out. He knew where they were going, and later saw them ordering through a window in the back of the restaurant, and then eating at picnic tables in the back yard.
He said the fact that these soldiers who were fighting for their country were not given the same basic human dignity and respect as the Nazis who had fought to kill Americans, and that everyone in the restaurant accepted this as just and necessary, caused him to see a truth that altered the rest of his life.
