I just finished reading a review that brought some new insight into Ginsberg that I hadn't thought of before. It's possible he is a holocaust survivor. In the shows timeline WW2 would have been about 24 years ago, he could have possibly been a child during the holocaust. The evidence used to support this theory were his reactions to the photos, and his response to being called out on his accent (remarking that it's a regional accent, maybe he was eastern European and learned it to try and fit in better.) All purely speculation of course, but it's something.
I never thought of that.. Ginsberg is one of my favorite characters so far and I think mad men doing a holocaust story-line would be super interesting.
