Did you know that the famous singer 😱✡️ — Pink (whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore) has Jewish roots on her mother’s side and has spoken openly about her Jewish identity and her pride in it?

🕎 Pink’s Jewish Identity

Family heritage: Her mother, Judith Moore (née Kugel), is Jewish, and Pink has said that she herself is Jewish through her maternal heritage (which, in Jewish tradition, also determines Jewish identity). She has described herself as an “Irish-German-Lithuanian Jew,” reflecting her mixed ancestry.

Pride in her roots: She has spoken publicly about her Jewish identity on multiple occasions, even defending her family against criticism — such as when she explained that she and her children are Jewish after sharing photos from the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.

Celebrating traditions: Pink has also shared moments celebrating Jewish holidays such as Hanukkah and has responded to comments criticizing her expression of that identity.

🎤 Examples of how she expresses it

On social media, she has responded to critics by stating that she and her family are Jewish and that parts of their traditions and values (such as respect for life and historical memory) are part of her personal experience.

In a recent video during Hanukkah, she expressed that she “never hides the fact that she is Jewish” and spoke proudly about her roots, even confronting negative insinuations.

In summary, Pink feels proud of her Jewish heritage and does not hesitate to speak about it publicly, even if it is not always the focus of her musical career. ✡️

I am Scarlett Johansson.
People see me at premieres.
In action scenes.
In fictional stories.

But my family lived a story that was not fiction.

In 1938 there was a night the world tried to soften with an almost poetic name.
They called it Kristallnacht.

“The Night of Broken Glass.”

It sounds fragile.
Almost delicate.

But it wasn’t glass that shattered.
It was the illusion of belonging.

That night, when the Nazis—under the regime of the Unnameable—took to the streets of Germany and Austria, they didn’t just destroy the shop windows of Jewish businesses.

They broke homes.
They burned synagogues.
They dragged men away.
They humiliated entire families.

Glass covered the streets.
Like ice.
As if winter had fallen too soon.

But what truly covered Europe was the message:
“You do not belong.”

Part of my family already felt the tension in the air.
That kind of antisemitism that begins with words…
and ends in fire.

Some managed to leave.
Others never had that chance.

At many Jewish tables there are empty chairs.
In many families there are branches that were simply… cut off.

When I think about that night, I don’t just imagine glass breaking.
I imagine the psychological sound of it.

The exact moment a Jewish child understood that his star was no longer a symbol of faith…
but a mark.

I was born decades later.
On another continent.
In freedom.

But memory doesn’t need a passport.

I grew up knowing my existence is not accidental.
I am the echo of those who survived a history designed to erase them.

Kristallnacht was a warning.
The world saw it… and did not do enough.
What came after was darker. Deeper. More irreversible.

My story carries those invisible fractures.

Every success of mine is a living contradiction to that night.
Every round of applause is the opposite sound of shattering glass.

They tried to break us.

But they did not understand something essential:

Glass breaks.
Memory does not.

And we…
are still here. ✡️
