I grew up in the northwest section
of Baltimore. It was all Jewish.

:00:46
In fact, I didn't even think of it
in those terms.

:00:48
I just assumed everyone was Jewish.
:00:51
Abrams.
:00:53
The whole world was Jewish.
:00:55
Ackerman.
:00:56
I remember when I was
in the second grade...

:00:59
... the first clue that some people
were different occurred to me then.

:01:05
Cohen.
:01:07
Cohen.
:01:10
Der.
:01:12
I even thought Ping Der was Jewish.
:01:16
The "Ping" part didn't sound Jewish,
but I assumed it was a nickname.

:01:20
Her brother's name was Minhuey,
and that definitely sounded Jewish.

:01:24
I sensed there was a world beyond
what I knew...

:01:28
... when I had lunch at
Butch Johnson's house.

:01:30
Something wrong, Ben?
:01:31
No. This is fine.
I just never had raw bread before.

:01:37
We always cook it.
You know, toast it.

:01:39
I can do that.
:01:41
There's too much white here.
The milk's white, the bread's white.

:01:44
It's all white stuff.
:01:45
What do you normally have?
:01:47
Not this.
:01:49
What was on the bread?
:01:50
Luncheon meat.
I've never heard of it.

:01:54
Not bologna? Not salami?
:01:56
No, luncheon meat
with mayonnaise and milk.
