It feels like it's wartime

New York in 1941 and '42, in color.

I love this sort of thing.

(Hesitations about whether or not to italicize the "in" in the phrase "in der heym", because if the preposition is English, rather than Yiddish, maybe it shouldn't turn the article to dative. Or maybe, on the other hand, it should be dative even following an English preposition, in which case it would be similar to sentences such as "I went to the circum", rather than "to the circus". A bit more common in German than in English, but quite awkward even in German.)

Oh, I was just typing as it passed through my head; thinking everything in English up to the noun and its article. I fear you've spent eloquence on my being a dummy. :)

Or I've just over-analyzed your writing, in accordance with true philological tradition.
