"We entered the synagogue, which was packed with the greatest stinking
bunch of humanity I have ever seen. When we got about halfway up, the
head Rabbi, who was dressed in a fur hat similar to that worn by
Henry VIII of England and in a surplice heavily embroidered and very
filthy, came down and met the General (Eisenhower)...The smell was so terrible that I almost fainted and actually about three hours later
lost my lunch as the result remembering it."
~ General Patton in Germany, diary entry Sept 17, 1945
