When she was alive, my mother (1915 – 2003) never hesitated to remind me that I was the outcome of 15 centuries of documented Christianity, documents which sadly went up in the inferno we know as Blitzkrieg.<\/p>\n

Yet, as a former denizen of that most anti-Semitic of nations – Poland – she never hesitated to inculcate in me a deep admiration of Jews. As a child I thought nothing of this. What child cares about ethnicity, after all? Then as I made my way in the business world in New York and most especially at Salomon Brothers, the genius of her insight was made clear. How could one not hew to a nation so disproportinately represented in the worlds of art, music, finance and science? Oy vey, and in economics and psychoanalysis.<\/p>\n

Snapped, appropriately enough, outside San Francisco’s Contemporary Jewish Museum, an exemplar of art and culture in that most cultured of American cities, San Francisco.<\/p>\n
