His Jewish wedding at a Nazi enclave was a ‘middle finger extended to Hitler.’ So was the rest of his life.

(JTA) — Felice Jacobs and Alan Feldstein could have tied the knot in Phoenix, where they met and where his mother worked at the local Reform synagogue. Or they could have held their wedding on the U.S. Army base in Austria where Alan was stationed at the time.
