Guess who I met in Turkey

In a very remote village, Hitler alive, selling honey .

Joking ...

No , I should not be making this as a joke. I apologize Mr Honey man.

I didn't even realised his close semblance to Hitler not until I look

at my shots the next day . This was taken on our way back,

( a very long drive ) from Pamukkale ( Denizli ) to Marmaris . It

was very late at night , we passed by this small house , lights were

on with bottles of fresh honey on display by the roadside.

No one's up minding the honey and fruits on display . There was no

street lights either , kind of creepy . The neighbourhood was a bit of a distance too.

Then this gentle man came out of the house. He didn't speak even a little English

but we have some understanding. He knew we were interested with his honey.

I have no doubt the locals sell pure honey in Turkey. It's genuine. We bought

a few bottles , he was so pleased and that's good. He seemed to be nice.

But then I can't get away with the impulse to take a shot before we left. So

I asked his permission if I can take few photos by pointing to my

camera and making few hand gestures and he understood it well . Willingly he

posed for the shots and this was one of the few I took .

Before we left, he gave us a bag full of apples and sweet figs . :))

The impact of Hitler against the Jews was despicable and evil.

I would not hide my jewish genealogy connection back in one of

ancestral lines. Any mention about Hitler isn't pleasant at all, it brings

spectre of unspeakable horror of the past and of the future.

My part ancestral lines was no doubt Sephardic jewish

as my DNA trace suggests . Most likely from Iberian

peninsula, running away saving their lives from the Spanish inquisition

(instigated also by the Vatican ) . Jews were largely persecuted

even burn alive at the stakes. Many converted to Catholicism

but many also run away saving their lives into the

new colonies of Spain , in which the Philippines was one

of the colonies under Spain for more than 300 yrs.

I do have the hump of the RC even more for all I knew and

digging back the horrid past of what they've done during Inquisition,

with evidence of millions of sufferings and murders for the span

of hundreds of years. The Philippine history books

didn't make much mention of anything related to the Spanish Inquisition

( Episcopal Inquisition ) where the Philippines was once a penal

colony of the Jewish heretics, anyone caught Judaizing has to be sent

back to Mexico. Any real jews in those days would never claim

they are Jews in fact have to hide their identities and live as Catholic

to survive.

 

Anyway, it's mind blowing how much our DNA can disclose our

hidden ancestral genealogy

we would never have any chance of knowing . What I've known

is limited to my great grand father generation

and not even clear and beyond this comes the total brick wall.

When I had my mtDNA ( mitochondrial DNA ) tested, I've also known that

from my mother side is much 30 % Japanese-Mongolian trace

added to largely Malay gene.

 

Some correction , as some would mistakenly think Filipino is a race.

Filipino is a national identity, has nothing to with race. Filipino are largely

of mixed race made up of different races and largely Malay .
