[Magdalen] Yad Vashem

[Christopher Hart]

I know the feeling, Scott. I'm not about to convert or anything, but I
would love to be more in touch with my own Jewish roots (through one great

anything about this growing up and I'm not sure my parents did either, but
my brother and I have done a good bit of genealogical work and the
connection is clear.
