We raised our three children to be Jewish. My granddaughter is continuing the tradition. Perhaps my exposure to Catholicism made me aware of the relativity of all these faiths. All, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, deal in their own ways with the eternal questions of man. They all help us to cope with metaphysical problems we cannot understand.
Most religions are ritualistic and assuring.
But after Auschwitz, it's difficult for me to accept it. Yes, I survived, my parents survived. It would be the height of egotism for me to thank a God who saved me but walked away from the rest of those Jewish victims. I think of myself as ethnically Jewish. I relate to my people, to their joys, to their history and to their tragedies.
