To me a ghetto Jew is unmistakably Jewish, not pretending to be not Jewish, or embarrassed of their Judaism, not betraying their brothers, just poor and downtrodden.
Thank you. I actually agree with you. That is an actual "ghetto Jew" in reality. I was referring to the hangover in attitude, which was understandable in the ghetto, that some of us still unfortunately retain, even if unknowingly. I am not blaming anyone for it, at all - but it is an explanation for a type of behavior. Real ghetto Jews were always unmistakably Jewish.
I was friends with the oldest Bielskis son in college. The family never talked about the heroics. Io only learned who my friend ws ,many years later.
Excellent post.
