[Alouette]

Whatever ancestors, authentic or bogus, that Kerry claims to have, he is no more a Jew than I am the Queen of England. Not even Hitler would consider John Kerry to be a Jew.

Hitler would have considered Kerry a mischling and he would have be subject to persecution and strict Gestapo scrutiny/abuse. His situation would have been unimaginably better than that of a full Jew (Catholic or Jewish) but much worse than that of a Germany with no Jewish ancestry.

I posted a story here about Kerry's second cousin in Vienna. Kerry's father had a cousin who was the same as Kerry--half Jewish by heritage, fully Catholic by faith and identity. (Ok, let's not get into details of how good a Catholic Kerry is. He identifies as such, that's what counted.) He survived the war in Vienna in hiding because it was too risky to live out in the open.
