Ask my mother about that. About when they were escaping Nazi Germany but
without a visa for her baby sister, who hadn't been born when they applied.
Aunt Hannah traveled, doped up in a dog carrier, on a "domestic animal"
visa.

They got out, but Grossopa Norden died in Thieresenstadt after giving away
all his food

That's what we're talking about. But I think Keith L. overreacts a tad, in
my legally Jewish opinion.

Y'know, those old WWII movies where the Nazis go through the train asking =
for "Papers please"?

"Internal Travel Documents"
