When my grandfather died, our family discovered that he was born and raised Jewish. He hid this from everyone when he immigrated from Canada to the U.S. and began his life as a doctor and husband. He changed his name, his birth date and his faith without anyone the wiser. He and my YaYa raised their children in not only the Catholic faith but, in Catholic schools from the time they were small children through high school graduation. While this caused quite a stir as my mother and her siblings wrapped their minds around such a huge revelation, I wonder if grandpa's motivations are best realized by watching this clip from one of my favorite movies. What do you think?
