Then quite a bit, but not everything, that I've said will be proven to be true-- some more true than I even thought. What I say, I can back up with evidence-- even if it's circumstanial evidence. For example, until my aunt told me what happened re Great-Grandma Czarnecki, I had no reason to believe that Pop-Pop fully intended to rid of Great-Grandma and make her death in a hospital in which she didn't want to be as painful as possible. Until I saw the records on Yad Vashem, I didn't know that relatives writing to Great-Grandma Gaydos for money meant that they were asking for help to get out of Europe and make aliyah lest they'd be murdered-- which many of them were. Until I saw that Great-Great-Granddad Czarnecki's mother was a Danilowicz, I wasn't sure that we are Jewish.
How many more examples must I give? I'm not perfect, but I try not to say baseless and harmful things-- even if those things hurt. I don't like being the relative of a maternicidal son who was ungrateful to the very mother of whom he intended to get rid. I don't like being the great-granddaughter of, essentially, an American kapo. I didn't go out seeking these things to hurt anybody-- in fact, I didn't ever expect Great-Grandma Gaydos to be a kapo, for example. I'd always heard that she was a quiet, sweet, perhaps-even-a-little-oblivious woman.
And if what I say isn't proven but not disproven, either; at least when I'm famous or the Rapture comes, then my critics and detractors-- who intend me no good-- will shut their mouths because they won't have anything to say-- or at least the hutzpah to say it. I'll have more clout than them or I'll be gone by then-- and many of them will be left behind.
