"Before the war there was terrible unemployment (~14%) and within a year under Hitler almost everyone found work.

"I like to swim. I ride a tricycle. I have a lot of freedom to say what I want and do what I want. I don't feel like I have to conform like when I was growing up." (Grandson here: she can swim 24 laps in a pool at age 91, which is 23 more damn laps than I can at age 22).

"I would like to go to Norway" (I'm not sure she totally understood the question).
