[++]WorldCat locates only SIX copies of this work (five copies in the U.S.). [++] I now very little of Mr Leibe outside the finding that he was German-born, and has what looks like 10 other printed/published works located in WorldCat. [++] This short story is an unusual one, telling the tale of German-American citizens being impounded during WWII. This story is mostly the interaction between a German-American family with two FBI agents relating to loyalty to the USA and whether there was a fealty to Germany. The second part of the pamphlet settles into an impoundment ("German American characters referred to as "internees") center on Ellis Island in the NYC harbor. I do not recall coming across a wartime story of internment sympathetic to the German Americans. I mean, I'm no expert, just some guy wit a lot of exposure to this sort of material and reporting years of experience. (For the record something on the order of 30,000 German-American were impounded during WWII; something like 10,000 Italian-Americans and 120,000 Japanese-Americans were also impounded during the war.) [++] "By the time of WWII, the United States had a large population of ethnic Germans. Among residents of the United States in 1940, more than 1.2 million persons had been born in Germany, 5 million had two native-German parents, and 6 million had one native-German parent. Many more had distant German ancestry. During WWII, the United States detained at least 11,000 ethnic Germans, overwhelmingly German nationals between the years 1940 and 1948 in two designated camps at Fort Douglas, Utah, and Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. The government examined the cases of German nationals individually, and detained relatively few in internment camps run by the Department of Justice, as related to its responsibilities under the Alien Enemies Act."--Wikipedia.
