MAY 1942: As reports about Nazi atrocities against Jews began to filter back from Europe - many of them reported in the New York Times - Dad felt he had to do something about racial and ethnic discrimination, so he had 100 copies of a special medallion made. On one side was a St. Christopher medal, on the other a Star of David. Wearing one himself, he gave others to friends.

FRANK ON PREJUDICE: Prejudice is nothing new to me. In Hoboken, when I was a kid, I lived in a tough neighborhood. When somebody called me "a dirty little guinea," there was only one thing to do - break his head. When I got older, I realized you shouldn't do it that way. I realized you've got to do it through education - maybe with a few exceptions.

He was a hero.
