Well said Peace

My folks were immigrants of a different faith and race from their host country when they arrived in the UK fleeing persecution because of that difference.
Like Mick's folks they sought to disguise their ethnicity and 'fit in' by changing their family name.

One aspect of that 'heritage' I still cleave to were written by the daughter of Holocaust survivors....

'For my mother and father, Judaism meant bearing witness, raging against injustice and foregoing silence
It meant compassion, and rescue.....These were the ultimate values.'
