Sylvia says she rode in to work with Sid and one of his neighbors who boasted about a car trip to Grossinger's using Black Market gasoline. Discussed with others how well he did in his exams, and was still not chosen. Says there is either an age limit [Moe is about 34 at this time] or a quota for Jews.
Says the Russians learned a lot, at great cost, from the Germans, and that the Germans just cracked under the pressure and lack of material.
