5. I'm not Jewish, but it's one of those things you hear all the time

It's in America's sub-conscience as it were, it's in literature, you see it on TV, or you used to.

I wasn't raised religious, so I was kind of a blank slate, and some things are so clearly not true, yet caused and continue to cause so much harm, like this lie.

(My husband has Jewish roots he's never been able to fully find, German Jews, that immigrated to Russia, then to the US. His father fought in WW2 with a German accent. I blame the history of antisemitism and diasporas for his lack of knowledge of his ancestry. I know he wonders, and I know it hurts him)
