Kinky Hanukkah Quote

JewsWeek has a great story about Kinky Friedman, his music, his writing, his salsa, his olive oil and his gubenotorial campaign. It concludes with this quote regarding Hanukkah:

Chanukah in fact is the subject of one of the 'Scuse me While I Whip This Out essays. After offering a Kinkiesque history of the holiday, Friedman concludes: "The Germans were able to kill six million, but were not able to extinguish the festival of lights in Anne Frank's eyes. Deep and dark and bright reflections still dance across the countenance of every child who lights a candle."
