It should be evident that the vast majority of non-Jews and those who "deny Jewish identity" are not Holocaust deniers. In my own case, I can trace my ancestry to the Yiddish-speaking nationality in Eastern Europe. However, I neither speak nor understand Yiddish nor live in a self-contained community which does. Instead, I share the same taste in food, sports, entertainment, and other aspects of a culture with English-speaking Canadian citizens of all nationalities and faiths and of no religion. We acquire our distinctive culture from earliest childhood through our interactions with others in our schools and workplaces and exposure to the media. My post-secondary education, jobs, social mobility, and the neighbourhoods in which I’ve lived since adulthood have been markedly different from my parents and grandparents. The same is true of my spouse’s experience and of many of our friends and likely most everyone else on this list. Frankly, I consider the sentimental and often idealized attachment to the ancestral line to be a form of false consciousness even when it inspires progressive rather than the customary reactionary values. I should add that despite my cultural affinities with most Canadians, I draw a sharp divide between them along class lines and identify first and foremost with others who share my political views across national and continental boundaries. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
