Today, I wore my Holocaust Remembrance bracelet to school. Now unless you're very familiar with either Hebrew, or common Holocaust symbols, the bracelet doesn't make much sense until it's explained. Needless to say, I answered a lot of questions about what my bracelet meant. Fine, no big deal here.
No, here's the kicker folks, about 75% of the people who asked about my bracelet followed up my response with something along the lines of "The Holocaust? That's with Jewish people right? Are you Jewish?" or "So you're Jewish right?"
Oh. I wasn't aware that wanting to remember the victims of the Holocaust (not all of whom were Jewish mind you), meant you were Jewish. Glad that was cleared up for me.
