@ngn Thanks.

Is it a relatively minor holiday? I asked one of my Jewish friends and he had never heard of it.

@Pavel Well, I've heard of it, and I'm not Jewish. :shrug:

@Pavel my guess is that it's a relatively major one - there are special things they do on that day, like read something and make noises when somebody's name occurs

Basically, it's a celebration of one of Hitler's spiritual ancestors not having his way.

That's an excellent description

@Pavel on the other hand, it's a typical jewish holiday - as Adam once said, (I'm quoting loosely) most of our holidays are like, somebody tries to kill all jews, he fails, we rejoice :)

Do Jews celebrate V-E day, I wonder.

@Pavel "V-E day"?

Victory in Europe day, we qualify it with E in America since the U.S. kept fighting Japan for a while.

@Pavel ah, 9 May. I've no idea.
