Interestingly, unless Rahm Emanuel (Auerbach was the family name before it was changed) is bending the truth again, his history seems quite sketchy. His grandfather emigrated while the USA was gearing up for entry into the Great War. It seems somewhat bizarre to suggest that anti-Semitic pogroms were taking place while all of Europe was engaged in military combat.

Another omission: Emanuel’s grandfather’s occupation was described as a union organizer elsewhere. Rahm makes him out to be a working stiff.

Thanks, I figured he wasn’t telling the story straight up, because Rahm’s one of those people who would rather lie when the truth would serve them better.

I take all politicians’ folksy stories with a grain of salt no matter who they are. They all have a spiel.

O/T-I hate hate hate auto-correct! I can spell better on my own, I used to be the spelling bee queen! AC is popping up words with no relation to what I’m trying to type!
