“I walked in and told the desk sergeant I wanted to register. He said,’What are you talking about?’ I said I wanted to register, so they’d know where I was. How would they find me if I broke the law? He said don’t worry, they’d find me. And then he said, ‘Lady, get the hell out of here.’
“I walked outside and it was a January day with a blue sky,” Werthmann recalls. “I looked up and said, ‘What kind of country is this?’ All of a sudden it dawned on me. It’s freedom.”
