When I first started seeing my husband and he talked about jews enough for me to think he might be crazy, I randomly met a jew who owned a local shop and he randomly started talking to me about being a jew. For some reason he thought I might be jewish. Weird since I'm very white and blonde. Scottish/Danish/German with no Jewish ancestry that I know of and very conservative kind of family. But when he sort of subtely asked if I was, I lied and told him I was adopted so I don't know my ancestry. I'm not sure why. Since I loved my husband already but thought there was no way jews were all evil and subversive, I guess I was hoping to learn something about the subject and husband had kept telling me they were secretive except with eachother.
Anyways I hung around and listened to what to this old man had to say. Like I came back several days and listened. Lots of stories I was told about his life, but I acted fascinated when he talked about his religion and family eventually he went into the subject. He told me that he believed that Jews have a special kind of sense- a way to manipulate people basically, or draw them to you- which is what all the stories about his life had been about pretty much, times he'd met famous people or knew something he shouldn't have known- and he said he thinks that jews got this talent because a woman long ago slept with a fallen angel and they're the offspring many generations down the line.
He tied the idea to a story from the bible but unfortunately I knee little enough about the bible that I didn't have any idea what he was talking about. There was more to it but I don't remember the details. Something about an island... I didn't really care at the time, all I cared about was that the guy I loved might not be crazy after all. I'm trying to figure out exactly what he was talking about now.
He literally suggested that jews are children of the devil, as if it were the coolest thing ever. Is this common knowledge? I'd love to know where this idea comes from. Like is there a story in the bible in which a woman sleeps with a fallen angel? He showed me his bible and told me what version it was as if it wasn't the standard version. I remember he talked about some lost book of the bible.
I'll always be grateful to this creepy old man who was proud of being devil spawn for totally confirming everything my now husband had been telling me. For a girl who didn't really know anything about jews it was a lot to swallow and this old man helped me accept it.
In case anyone is interested he also suggested that jews are generally superior because they travelled so much and when a kid was sickly they'd just get thrown off the wagon. As far a I remember that's pretty much all he told me about jews. Except that they'd hide that they were jewish. Was a big secret although the school knew he was a Roma gypsy I guess which is different than being jewish but also the same from what he said?
If anyone has any insight into that fallen angel story please share, thank you!!
