Hello kids, this is Risk!

The show where people tell true stories they never thought they'd dare to share.

I'm Kevin Allison and every Thursday we release these special episodes that we're calling

classic risk singles.

Each of these episodes features just one story from our earlier years.

If you're new to Risk, you should know that the podcast can be very uncensored.

This week, a story that was first shared on the podcast last holiday season.

This is DC Benny with a story we call Jewish Christmas.

I grew up in Washington DC in the 70s.

My father was an artist, a Polish Jew who came from immigrant parents who had a grocery

store.

They lived upstairs, the whole situation in the ghetto.

So ultimately it was burned down, you know, in like a dude of right thing.

Then moved over from Poland, escaped off Holocaust, everybody else got killed in the Holocaust

where they made it through.

And he became an artist, much to his parents, Shigerin.

And my mother was a German dancer that he met in New York, a modern dancer.

So there were very creative, there was a lot of creativity going on.

Everything was interpreted and he would paint, my mother was his muse.

So there were always naked pictures of my mother in the house, growing up or whatever.

So that's always nice when your four year old friends, five year olds come over and say,

can thank your mom's Pachina.
