Concerning the expression of the Jewish religion in our family, to be
truthful, it was not present. I think the situation developed in such a
direction because of what my mother's siblings had gone through, so at home
we simply did not talk about it. I learned more about these things only
after I got married.
I married a Jewish girl, but not because she was Jewish. I did not even
know at first. I found out about her origin later, when we were dating.
Actually, she is Jewish because her mother is Jewish; her father was not
Jewish. As I married a Jewish woman from a family where this tradition was
much stronger, I learned much more about the Jewish religion than in my
own.
