I've said it before, Israel Epstein is like the other Semen Hitler, when it comes to very respectable people who happen to have somewhat unfortunate names. ~~Semen Hitler was kinda screwed over by people's choice of romanization, though, he could just as easily have been called Semyon Gitler.~~

And Israel Epstein is also kinda like, yeah there's a strong connotation of "apartheid regime and rich nonce", but ultimately there are a lot of people with the forename Israel and the surname Epstein — such as the famous Hawaiian musician, and the fellow who co-discovered the first known oncogenic virus in humans alongside Yvonne Barr and Bert Achong.

I know another great one. There was once a dentist in the 20s-40s in the US midwest, a man named George Washington Hitler. He didn’t change his name bc he said to paraphrase “I never disrespected my name, Adolf did” which is pretty funny bc George Washington is already a pretty tarnished name. It gets better. His son or grandson or something was named Gaylord and went by Gay Hitler.

minor correction; apparently Gay Hitler was the one from 20s to 40s in Ohio, not his dad (can't make this shit up)

Lol yeah you’re right, his grandpa (I believe) was George Washington Hitler, he thought he only had one historical reference in his name for a good couple decades. Poor guy, same with семён гитлер, they don’t deserve to be attached to probably the most despicable person on Earth if you’d ask most people
