<p>[QUOTE="Vintage Maven, post: 1204727, member: 11768"]Hi [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] I am very proud of my heritage and family history, I come from long line of family who have accomplished great things, it’s almost intimidating lol. There was a time when my family first kept our ethnicity hidden as much as they could when they first came to Canada for fear of further retribution/anti-semetic reaction from neighbors etc, as if people couldn’t figure it out though, it was the times though, there was the war, I guess it was hard to know who to trust. I get the sense from the older generation when they spoke of those early days there was a background fear of being sent back, I guess the political and racial climate was ripe for bearing those fruits. And I don’t make apologies for who I am, or where I’ve come from. I guess I wanted in all fairness to acknowledge that sadly there has been injustices done to many cultures/races. I, like many others don’t like that fact, but I sometimes feel when I even hear about things that effect people in the world now that humans seems to be far crueler and barbaric than animals at times. But there is also so much greatness in humanity too, and I am very thankful I live pretty much everyday with great joy. ❤️ Maven[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
