Just that really.
My greatgrandmother was Jewish .
She lived in the beginning of 20th century in Eastern Europe and it was rather dangerous to be a Jew, so she hidden her ethnicity(ish).
She had my grandmother and my grandmother had my mother. My mother had my sister and me, which makes me Jewish, right? Its unbroken maternial genealogical line apparently and something that qualifies me by "Law of return" to "return" to Israel.
Im trying to get my head around it.
I feel like a person that found out at grown up age he was adopted as a baby .
I am not sure if l I should connect to my new found heritage and religion or my new discovery shouldn't change anything at all for me.
Anyone been in similar situation? How did you react? What did you think/do?
The pogroms, holocaust , hundreds of years of persecution is part of my history now .Or is it not?
