Czar Nicholas I was an anti-semite. He was determined to convert all Jews to Christianity. One day a young Jewish girl came to plead for her father's life when he was languishing in prison. A golden statue of Jesus stood on a table. The Czar paused and then said, "First kiss the groom," pointing to the figure.
"There is a Jewish custom," she said,"that the groom must kiss the bride first."
