What is the significance of Kitty Pryde's Jewish heritage in her character development? toggle section
Kitty Pryde's Jewish heritage plays a significant role in her character development. As a Jewish character, she often wears a Star of David necklace, symbolizing her faith. Her cultural memories of the Holocaust make her particularly sensitive to prejudice, whether it's against mutants, humans, or any alien species. This sensitivity is especially heightened when it involves camps or imprisonment, reflecting the historical experiences of the Jewish community during World War II. This aspect of her character not only adds depth to her personality but also allows her to serve as a symbol against prejudice and discrimination in the Marvel universe.
