John Kerry's Jewish roots
Jan 31, 2004
Brandeis.edu -- You thought of him as an Irish American Catholic. But John Kerry, Democratic presidential candidate, has Jewish roots. That revelation, discovered by The Boston Globe, has sent the media searching for explanations. What does it mean to Kerry's political aspirations? What does it mean to the American Jewish community? Jonathan Sarna, the Joseph H. and Belle Braun Professor of American Jewish History, offered his perspective to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. For more, click on the link below.
There was an initial hubbub when Albright, secretary of state in the Clinton administration, learned in 1997 that three of her four grandparents were Jewish.
The next time she was in Prague, Albright visited the Pinkas Synagogue, where the names of her paternal grandparents are inscribed on a wall among thousands of Czech Jews who died in the Holocaust.
There was little political fallout from her discovery — though when she dealt with the Israeli-Palestinian peace process many Arab commentators called her a Zionist and said she had a pro-Israel bias.
