I had never had a Jewish friend before, and frankly I felt a sense of pride in having been able to overcome a barrier that for most of my life I had been led to believe was insurmountable.
Non avevo mai avuto un amico ebreo, e francamente mi sentivo orgoglioso di essere riuscito a superare una barriera che per gran parte della vita  mi avevano portato a credere insormontabile.
