Are you Jewish?
No actually but I’ve grown up around it. When I was little my neighbor was this old jewish woman and she would babysit me sometimes and tell me stories from before and after the war. She had a number on her arm but she never told me anything about what happened in the camps. I had a few jewish friends growing up too. Like, in my 1st grade class, for show and tell around Hanukkah one of my classmates came in with a bunch of those little plastic dreidels and taught the class to play and I ended up going to her bat mitzvah. Later on in college one of my research associates was getting married and she was jewish and I went to that, hence the wedding story about the rabbi forgetting the glass
