[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shana Tova! Op, it’s a new year. How do you plan to put this angst behind you?[/quote]

I’m mostly just upset about the number of people who feel it necessary to attack someone for discussing their background.

I recognize the title was wrong; I wrote it hastily and it is inaccurate.

However, the number of you who continue to deny Ashkenazi Jews exist as an ethnic and genetic group is upsetting to me.

I don’t “crave” some identification as a descendant of Holocaust victims; that’s simply a fact of my family’s history. My great grandparents were some of the few in their family who escaped the pogroms in Ukraine and Russia. Most of my uncle’s family died in the Holocaust. I don’t find this interesting; it’s just a fact.

My sole point—poorly articulated—is that part of being Jewish, for some, is having Jewish ancestry. It doesn’t mean converts aren’t Jewish; it simply means there is a genetic, ethnic component to it for those with certain genetic backgrounds. The vitriol in this thread helps prove why the thread is necessary. [/quote]

My grandmother is a living holocaust survivor, her entire family was exterminated.

With all respect OP, shut up. Yeah, youre Jewish. Great. Have some apples and honey.  Stop picking internet fights and live your life. [/quote]
