I remember that one. The fact that he didn't answer earned him a lot of respect.

If I remember correctly, he's not Jewish. He could've easily stated that at any point, but that would've empowered them and played into their hateful worldview. Not many people would have had the strength to refuse to answer while faced with danger like that.

He really just planted the seed.

Serious question- from your experience do you feel like there is any difference in sympathy between deaf people and hearing people?

Sometimes our tone of voice gives away a lot of emotions we try to hide. Deaf people are probably more in touch with body language which may compensate, but a lot of fully deaf people I've known are a lot more guarded with strangers and seem less sympathetic. I haven't met enough to get a robust sample size though :)

What do you think of Jewish assimilation in America?

It seems like you would agree that is important to be part of the culture of the country you live in, but many Jews eventually abandon their heritage, or don't pass it on to the next generation either due to intermarriage or having less involvement in the Jewish community.

Do your descendants all consider themselves Jewish?
