"this used to be my parents bakery"
one day Pete rosenblum went back to the
coops, the place where he grew up.
"Pete how are ya? It's good to see you."
"Did you lose weight?"
"I'm shrinking."
"we're all shrinking"
Pete and his friends had an unusual
childhood. "There were certain people I think when we were five six seven years old we were gonna conquer the world."
"Yeah, weren’t we? That’s why they built these buildings, for the headquarters for us...but--"
"We didn't know it at the time they
didn't tell us..."
"--that we were expected to conquer the
world but they set it up you know..."
"This was gonna be the main
headquarters."
"Who would build a house to conquer the world?" 
Woman: "When I was little I assumed that
the whole world was Communist and and certainly the whole world was Jewish."
"These were garment workers! They were so gutsy to think that they could build an--"
"--apartment house for 700 families. From this apartment house they planned to--"
"--make a revolution."
"What would bother my parents about
living in America was this sense of
being servants to somebody else. I think
that what they felt here was that they
were the owners of both their apartment
and of their faith of what happened to--
"--them. This was all an experiment. The people that started the experiment thought--"
"-- that we’d end up with heaven on earth."
