Yiddish Humor and Shmonzes II

2009, the year of sequels...

A little compilation of Jewish jokes and humor, especially from central and Eastern Europe. They are part of a rich cultural heritage which was widely destroyed by the Nazis. But Jewish culture survived and still exists. Enjoy the show and shalom.

P.S.: This is my second version for my first version had too much careless mistakes.

This German Jew identifies himself with Germany so much that he adopts the Christmas Tree custom of his fellow countrymen. He draws the Christian aspect aside with the true hint towards the heathen Germanic origin of Christmas Trees.

The first joke might not be so funny but it tells a lot about the attitude of German Jews, especially between the Bismarck era and Hitler's accession to power. In that named time period, a German Jew believed himself to be a German first of all and secondly a Jew.
