2. beautiful story...
stephane ,   france   (02.15.07)
it's good not to forgot his roots;but it's never to late to come back to his religion.i like the mentality of the father,today he's a good christian,but he didn't forget where he came from.and i'm sure that if he come back to judaïsm;he'll be a good jew too.this story is very interesting because it talk about an other side of the holocaust that we rarely talk about:we lost "physically" 6 millions of jews,but we lost also many jews who are still living like this family...i know in france people who have jewish names but are christians.they don't know why they have that jewish names,but they think that their "ancesters" changed their religion to avoid antisemitism...
3. Where is the beauty in this?

A Jew leaves the religion in a country where the inquisition is still law and five generations that could of been Jewish are not, because of him, there could have been 200 million Jews today if not for all the terror inflicted on Jews by Christians even just before WWII the Jews total population was the size any small European country.

Good christian is a good jew. Good christian should follow Jesus's teaching who only preached peace, love, forgivness, helping the disatvantaged, denouncing violence. Unfortunatly, practising christianity in many cases wasn't within these guidlines. Shalom.
