Kerry's grandfather said goodbye to the religion when he married Kerry's grandmother and she did not convert to Judaism. But he also died a Jew unless he was baptized as a Catholic. Of interest, the Nazis did not respect such conversions.

Indeed, master brewer or not, had the grandfather been baptized and had he and his progeny remained in Czechoslovakia, Moravia or Silesia, all would have been thrown in the concentration camps for being Jews, including John Kerry (Kohn)who at that point was 1/4 Jewish easily a qualifier on the Hitlerian 1/32 test for the gas chambers.

Wrong! According to a Boston Globe Article. already posted on the FR (and on the Drudge Report) she was ALSO Jewish. Her maiden name was Frankel.

BTW, Kerry is already doing damage control over why he allowed the impression that he was Irish. Check out this quote from the article:

Kerry spokeswoman Kelley Benander said the senator has corrected any misstatement he became aware of. When she was read three examples from Globe clippings in which the senator was misidentified as Irish-American, she repeated that Kerry had corrected misstatements when he read or heard them.

Kerry ''has never indicated to anyone that he was Irish and corrected people over the years who assumed he was,'' Benander said.
