Let's salute the brave, unknown Irish Jew

AS Ireland strives for its intellectual freedom and tries to get away from the coat-tails of British colonialism, we have much to learn from the Jews with their storytelling tradition and their ability to preserve their identity, art and culture.

Next year will be the 100th anniversary of the Jewish pogrom of Limerick. Though no one was seriously injured, rioting occurred and the term pogrom has stuck.

Although this occurred when Limerick was a garrison city under British rule, is it not time to address a wrong that was done to Limerick's Jewish community at that time?
