I climbed online again

I thought...who knew....

"It is my conviction you would understand where those like myself are coming from..."

It would be like this?

"I wanted to plead with you..."

I certainly did not.

"The Holocaust was woven into each Kushner simcha, reports the childhood friend who recalls how Rae and Joseph Kushner’s triumph over the Nazis as partisans was the thread that bound the generations. Jared and his siblings would recite poems about their grandparents at their own Bar and Bat Mitzvahs."

“‘The Holocaust was very bad, and we’re not happy, we’re sad,’ is how one of the lines might go,' says the friend. 'I think Joseph, who was part of a group of survivors known as the Builders and who literally built the house where Jared grew up, would be very upset if he were alive today, to see his grandson enabling the hate now … I’m speechless.'”

BUT

I'm thinking of this again...

"Patton’s other grandfather, as well as his father, were also decorated Army generals. Being 'profoundly proud of their service,' he considered a military career himself, he says. 'But it was also my grandfather, General Patton, who slapped a traumatized soldier in the face for his ‘cowardice,’ and that’s something I’ve struggled with for years.'”

Because the grandchildren can be different.
