Here are some photos of my father Manfred Stanley as a child in Berlin,
circa 1938.
This is
a photo of my father in his characteristic pose.
This
is a photo of my father with his father, Alex Intrator, a concert
violinist.
This is a
photo of my father with Alex Intrator, his father, and Jakob Intrator,
his grandfather.
My father and his parents and all his grandparents lived in
Charlottenberg. My father and his parents and my grandmother's parents
lived on the Fasananenstrasse, across from my great-grandfather's
synagogue. My grandfather's parents, Jakob and Rosa Intrator, lived in
a beautiful apartment on 185 Kurfurstendamm, on the corner of
Kurfurstendamm and Wielandstrasse. Some of my father's earliest
recollections are watching Nazi parades down Kurfurstendamm from their
balcony.
My grandparents were separated by the war. By the time my father saw
his father again, both his parents had remarried. My father changed his
name from "Manfred Intrator" to "Manfred Stanley" at the age of 30.
