Edwin de Vries' vader, die eveneens acteur was, kwam uit een a-religieus maar wel bewust joods gezin en maakte in de oorlog deel uit van een verzetsgroep. 'De ontwikkeling van mijn joodse bewustzijn is vergelijkbaar met die van Chaja: ik rebelleerde, maakte deel uit van de studentenbeweging en sprak net als iedereen over de revolutie. Ik heb nog meegedaan aan de bezetting van het Maagdenhuis. Pas door Leedvermaak van Judith Herzberg werd ik mij bewust van mijn eigen joods-zijn.'

Having scored his first league goal in May against Willem II, he netted a Ajax's only goal in the Champions League game at Maccabi Tel Aviv, which Ajax lost in dramatic fashion. That fixture was a special one for De Ridder, who is Jewish and has an Israeli mother.

Veel Ajax-supporters hebben de behoefte om zichzelf joods te noemen, maar de geuzennaam wordt als kwetsend en onnodig ervaren door de club. Wat vindt jij daarvan? - Het is meer een politieke kwestie en ook al ben ik Joods, ik heb daar weinig over te zeggen.

Wat hebben Sjakie Swart en Madeleine Albright, professor Kokadorus en Meryl Streep, Jezus en Xaviera Hollander gemeen? Waarschijnlijk weinig tot niets, behalve dat ze allemaal Joods zijn, en dat laatste fascineert de Israëlisch-Oostenrijkse kunstenaar Oz Almog.
