Their friendship flourished for forty years through correspondence and visits to the capitals where her husband, the diplomat B. K. Nehru, was posted. Then, at her ninetieth birthday celebration in 1998, Auntie Fori told her "adopted nephew" that she was not of Indian birth but was actually Hungarian-and Jewish. She did not know what this Jewish identity involved, historically or spiritually, and she asked him to enlighten her. <JewsHistoryJuvenile literatureJudaismHistoryJuvenile literatureJewsHistoryJudaismHistory909.04924Gilbert Martin223002MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822358203321The story of the Jewish people4068363UNINA
