When i was growing up, i, like many jews, cheered what appeared to be the receding of faith from everyday life. the further religion got from our lives the better our lives would get, i thought, because persecution had been such a burden to jewish families for generations.

More From Bruce Feiler

The jewish question exists wherever the jews live, however small their number. where it does not exist it is imported by jew immigrants. we naturally go where we are not persecuted, and, still persecution is the result of our appearance...by persecution we cannot be exterminated...the strong jews turn proudly to their race when persecution bursts out. entire branches of judaism may disappear, break away; the tree lives.
Strong Race Numbers
I strongly believe that a small jewish clique which has contempt for the mass of jewish people worked with non-jews to create the first world war, the russian revolution, and the second world war. this jewish/non-jewish elite used the first world war to secure the balfour declaration and the principle of the jewish state of israel.

If only one country, for whatever reason, tolerates a jewish family in it, that family will become the germ center for fresh sedition. if one little jewish boy survives without any jewish education, with no synagogue and no hebrew school, it [judaism] is in his soul. even if there had never been a synagogue or a jewish school or an old testament, the jewish spirit would still exist and exert its influence. it has been there from the beginning and there is no jew, not a single one, who does not personify it.

The persecution of jews in occupied poland meant that we could see horror emerging gradually in many ways. in 1939, they were forced to wear jewish stars, and people were herded and shut up into ghettos. then, in the years '41 and '42 there was plenty of public evidence of pure sadism. with people behaving like pigs, i felt the jews were being destroyed. i had to help them. there was no choice.

I love elizabeth taylor. i'm inspired by her bravery. she has been through so much and she is a survivor. that lady has been through a lot and she's walked out of it on two feet. i identify with her very strongly because of our experiences as child stars. when we first started talking on the phone, she told me she felt as if she had known me for years. i felt the same way.

I asked michael jackson once. i said to him, 'how were you able to go from the jackson five to the biggest star in the world? what was your secret, michael?' he said, 'ricky, stay inspired. that's the hardest thing to do. if you can figure out a way to stay inspired, you can make it.'
