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 .
