I was hoping to have more time to talk with Leon Litvak this morning. Leon is our regular guide to Jewish life and customs and came into the studio to talk about the festival of Purim, which begins today. And he never disappoints. He even brought a traditional noisemaker with him -- so I was able to make a racket every time Haman's name was mentioned. We were pushed for time and didn't have a chance to explore the history of the festival at much length. Off air, he told me how some Jewish believers in Dachau began to image Adolf Hitler as a kind of Haman in an effort to make sense of their experience.
