This Jewish boy in the 1930s was beaten up by his classmates, who then took pig fat and smeared it on his mouth, a violation of the Jewish Kosher laws that he kept. Then, his school punished him for refusing to write an exam on Shabbat. This Jewish kid's name is Menachem Begin, and like many Jews today, he used the hate directed at him to grow prouder and more resolute about his Jewish identity than ever before.
