John Weitz, a writer, historian and fashion designer, talks with Don Swaim about his former jobs in radio, while listing the different products he has designed, including luggage and a car. He tells us what it is like being a Jewish man in America, his views toward anti-Semitism, and his involvement in World War II. Weitz is a self-proclaimed “automobile freak” and explains the process he underwent to design his car. He is the author of Hitler's Diplomat: The Life and Times of Joachim von Ribbentrop, The Value of Nothing, and Friends in High Places .
