I grew up in Minnesota. If you aren’t in Highland Park or St. Louis Park there aren’t that many Jewish families. There may have been a Jewish kid at my elementary school, but no one ever mentioned it.
There were a couple kids at my junior high whose names ended in -“witz.” They had olive skin and aquiline noses. One of them was really into Maus. In retrospect, they were probably Jewish. Again though, it never really came up.
You never had any Jewish friends growing up?
Unfortunately not

Not really. There weren’t many Jewish people around my hometown.
