John Kerry's Jewish Roots
Fooled you! And you, and you, and you.
Even the best friends of Senator John Forbes Kerry, a practicing Catholic from Massachusetts (the state which contains America’s largest Irish Catholic population), thought of him as an American Irish Catholic through and through.
The discovery of Kerry’s European Jewish roots has surprised many people, including the senator himself.
Benedikt Kohn (Great-Grandfather)
Benedikt Kohn, the great-grandfather of Senator John Kerry, was born about 1824 in southern Moravia. Benedikt was successful as a master brewer of beer.
In 1868, after the death of his first wife, he moved to Bennisch (today called Horni Benesov) and married Mathilde Frankel Kohn. Benedikt and Mathilde Kohn were two of the only 27 Jews living in Bennisch, which is listed as having a total population of 4,200, in 1880.
Soon after Benedikt died in 1876, Mathilde moved to Vienna with her children Ida (7), Friedrich "Fritz" (3) and Otto (newborn).
Fritz Kohn/Fred Kerry (Grandfather)
Fritz and Otto excelled in their studies in Vienna. However, like other Jews, they suffered greatly from the anti-Semitism that prevailed in Europe at this time. As a result, both Kohn brothers abandoned their Jewish heritage and converted to Roman Catholicism.
In addition, in 1897, Otto decided to shed the Jewish-sounding name of Kohn. He chose a new name by dropping a pencil on a map. The pencil landed on Ireland's County Kerry. In 1901, Fritz followed his brother’s example and officially changed his name to Frederick Kerry.
Fred, who worked as an accountant at his uncle's shoe factory, married Ida Loewe, a Jewish musician from Budapest. Ida was a descendant of Sinai Loew, a brother of Rabbi Judah Loew, the famous Kabbalist, philosopher and Talmudist known as the "Maharal of Prague" who some say invented the character of the Golem. Two of Ida's siblings, Otto Loewe and Jenni Loewe, were killed in Nazi concentration camps.
Fred, Ida and their first son Erich were all baptized as Catholics. And in 1905, the young family immigrated to America. After entering through Ellis Island, the family first lived in Chicago and then settled in Boston. Fred and Ida had two more children in America, Mildred (1910) and Richard (1915).
Fred and Ida and their three children lived in Brookline, where Fred became a prominent man in the shoe business and regularly attended Sunday Catholic church services. Fred did not tell and no one would have guessed that the family had Jewish roots.
In 1921, Fred Kerry, at age 48, entered a Boston hotel and shot himself in the head. Some say the suicide was due to financial stress or depression. Perhaps the transition from Czech Jew to American Catholic was too great and unsupported a spiritual, psychological and social change.
Richard Kerry (Father)
Richard was six years old when his father committed suicide. It has been said that he dealt with the tragedy by ignoring it. Richard attended Phillips Academy, Yale University and Harvard Law School. After serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Kerry worked in the U.S. Department of State and later the Foreign Service.
He married Rosemary Forbes, the beneficiary of the Forbes family trusts. The Forbes family amassed a huge fortune in China trade.
Richard and Rosemary had four children: Margery (1941), John (1943), Diana (1947) and Cameron (1950). John, a Massachusetts Senator, is the 2004 Democratic Nominee for President. Cameron, who married a Jewish woman and converted to Judaism in 1983, is a prominent Boston lawyer.
John Forbes Kerry
In 1997 Secretary of State Madeleine Albright learned three of her four grandparents were Jewish. Then Wesley Clark announced that his father was Jewish. And now a researcher has discovered that John Kerry is really John Kohn.
So what if John Kerry has Jewish roots? If the discovery had been made in Europe in the 1940’s, Kerry would have been sent to a Nazi concentration camp. If the discovery had been made in America in the 1950’s, Kerry’s political career would have been negatively affected. Today, however, the discovery of Kerry’s Jewish roots seems inconsequential and unlikely to affect the 2004 presidential race.
The story of Kerry’s Jewish past is of interest because it reflects the story of many European Jews who shed their Jewish heritage en route to America at the turn of the century. The story makes one wonder how many Americans today have Jewish roots of which they are unaware.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Peaches Browning (June 23, 1910 – August 23, 1956), born Frances Belle Heenan, was a United States actress. At 15 years of age she married 51 year-old New York real estate tycoon, Edward West ("Daddy") Browning, after Browning had advertised that he wanted to adopt young teenaged girls because his wife could not have children. Once Peaches came on the scene, the first Mrs. Browning was divorced.
In 1926 Peaches tried to obtain a divorce during which the Putnam County, New York trial gained repeated coverage by New York city tabloid newspapers such as the New York Daily News and rival New York Daily Mirror. The story was soon picked up by the national newspapers and the couple became well known in US popular culture of the time. Among the notable incidents were her allegations of her husband's odd behavior including the fact that he kept a honking African goose in their bedroom. Nonetheless, the court turned her down, granting only a separation.
When Edward Browning died in 1934, Peaches was awarded his entire estate.
Peaches Browning died in 1956 and is buried in the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York.

Jack Doyle
-Dec. 13, 1978
m.1.)actress Judith Allen
m.2.)1939-1944 actress Movita
Irish boxer, known as "The Gorgeous Gael." Born at 12 Queen's Street in Queenstown (now Connolly Street in Cobh), he joined the Irish Guards at the age of 17 and boxed for the British Army, winning all 28 of his bouts, 27 of them by knockouts. He was brought out of the Army by a promoter named Dan Sullivan. In his first professional fight, he K.O.'d Chris Goulding, and won nine further bouts that year, all within the first two minutes. In July 1933 at the White City Stadium (now demolished) in London, he fought Jack Petersen of Wales for the British Heavyweight title, but was disqualified in the second round for punching below the belt and was suspended for six months. In his comeback fight, he knocked out Frank Borrington within 83 seconds. He then went to America, where he fought four times but was knocked out by Buddy Baer in the first round, and abandoned boxing for a while. He appeared in two Hollywood B-movies: "Navy Spy" (1934) and, three years later, in the title role of "McGlusky the Sea Rover" (a.k.a. "Hell's Cargo.") On his return to the British Isles, in his second comeback fight, against Alf Robinson, he was, again, disqualified. However, he beat Harry Staels in the sixth round and King Levinsky on points (the picture shows him after the Levinsky fight), only to be knocked out twice (1938 and 1939) by Eddie Phillips. His last fight was in 1942, in Dublin's Dalymount Park, against Chris Cole, who knocked him out in the first round; it is said that Doyle had spent far too much time in the hotel bar before the fight. Doyle was married twice: firstly, to the Hollywood actress Judith Allen, who divorced him, citing one Delphine Dodge as the "other woman"; and, in 1939, to Movita, who played Tehanni in the 1935 version of "Mutiny on the Bounty." That, too, ended in divorce in 1944, and she went on to marry Marlon Brando. Although Doyle had won 17 of his 23 professional bouts, he became an alcoholic, was declared bankrupt on two occasions, and spent a fortnight in Mountjoy Prison for assaulting a detective. It is said that, during his final years, his only sources of income were the £25 per month he received from Movita as part of their divorce settlement, and a remittance of £100 per month from the Dodge family, which was paid on the understanding that he had no further contact with their daughter.

Princess Nina Mdivani Conan Doyle Harwood died on Mar. 3 in London.
Nina
was *The* Woman at the cocktail party before the BSI annual dinner in 1975,
and contributed an Introduction to the 1975 reprint of TALES OF TERROR AND
MYSTERY (D329b), but she was not (as at least one obituary suggests) the
last of the royal Georgian clan of Mdivanis. They were Georgian, but
they
weren't royal; Alice-Leone Moats, in THE MILLION DOLLAR STUDS (New York:
Delacorte Press, 1977), gives considerable attention to Nina's brothers,
all of whom married rich Americans, and little to Nina, who married Denis
Conan Doyle and then Anthony Harwood. Nina (as Baskervilles Investments
Limited) for a time controlled the Conan Doyle literary estate.
Erratum (Mar 87 #3): Princess Nina Mdivani Conan Doyle Harwood died on Feb.
18 in London, I am informed by a reliable reader.
