On visiting Hamburg, Germany, shortly after Adolf Hitler came to power: "I saw the most frightening, most depressing sight I had ever seen - a row of stores with Stars of David and the word `Jude` painted on them, and inside, behind half-empty counters, people in a daze, cringing like they didn`t know what hit them and didn`t know where the next blow would come from. Hitler had been in power only six months, and his boycott was already in full effect. I hadn`t been so wholly conscious of being a Jew since my bar mitzvah, and it was the first time since I`d had the measles that I was too sick to eat."
- Harpo Marx`One night in Hamburg, I painted my face purple, and didn`t realise it was indelible. So I had to walk around Hamburg for the next three days with a purple head!`
- Ozzy OsbourneI want to give applause to Hamburg and the German people for being so wonderful to me during my visit. I will never forget my time here.
- Lamon BrewsterI played against him in Rome and Hamburg this year, won twice in straight sets. Also, I haven`t lost to a Spaniard this year yet, so hopefully tomorrow this will continue.
