Epilogue 182

I was born forty six years ago into a pleasant
and prosperous suburb near New York .City. My
ancestry was Geriilan and my family through living

there four generations had become entirely assimila-
ted t<> American life. My great-grand parents had

migrated from Germany between 1848-ISGl seeking
brighter economic opportunities. Although of
Jewish origin, neither my mother nor my father
wer:e observant, their J ewishness being purely
nominaL Thus I was raised like my elder sister in
a typical American ,environment an:d received an
ordinary secular education at the local public
schools.
