This article really spoke to me. I am the son of Jew, my grandparents died in Auschwitz. Am I handing Hitler posthumous victories? In one way at least, I suppose that I am. I do remember the victims of Auschwitz. I do not despair of humanity, the world or God. However, I do not live as a Jew.

 I do little to acknowledge any sort of Yiddishkeit in myself, and I have passed even less on to my own children. At that, I am the only grandchild of Arnold and Margareta Gans to whom Jewishness means anything. When I die, a branch of the Jewish people will be no more.
