james   buchanan   barnes   was   born   to   george   barnes,   indiana   local   ﹠   well-regarded   U.S.   Army   soldier,   ﹠   winnifred   barnes   ( nee   warszawski )   –   a   jewish   immigrant   from   poland.   winnifred’s   family   had   emigrated   from   ząbki   in   1907   when   she   was   a   child,   due   to   the   rise   of   nationalism   in   europe   ﹠   subsequent   spread   of   antisemitism   throughout   the   early   1900’s.   her   family   entered   the   united   states   through   ellis   island,   settling   in   new   york   until   1921.   decent   sized   populations   of   jewish   communities   seemed   to   be   moving   further   west,   with   the   warszawski’s   following   suit   ﹠   landing   near   shelbyville,   indiana. it   was   here   that   winnifred   met   george   barnes,   a   born   ﹠   raised   local   of   german   ﹠   english   descent.   he   was   raised   a   non-denominational   christian,   resulting   in   a   blended   household   at   the   time   of   their   marriage,   ﹠   sequentially,   their   son’s   birth   in   1925.

bucky   was   born   on   base   in   shelbyville,   with   the   first   nine   years   of   his   life   spent   with   his   sister   ﹠   him   predominantly   being   raised   by   their   mother,   who   always   made   sure   that   her   children   were   aware   of   their   heritage   ﹠   tradition.   though   the   family   was   cautious   ﹠   kept   their   status   as   jewish-americans   under   wraps,   they   tended   to   celebrate   major   holidays   within   the   comfort   of   their   own   home,   abided   by   kosher   food   laws,   ﹠   attended   jewish   services   led   by   chaplains   when   possible.    in   1935,   tragedy   struck   when   winnifred   died   from   a   bout   of   pneumonia   –   leaving   her   two   children   behind.   the   family   decided   to   incorporate   elements   of   traditional   burial   rituals   into   her   funeral   without   making   it   obvious,   such   as   opting   to   not   have   her   embalmed   ﹠   burying   her   in   a   plain   box.   though   a   shomer   was   not   necessary,   bucky   used   the   common   orthodox   practice   of   having   someone   watch   over   the   body   of   the   deceased   to   disguise   the   fact   that   he   was   not   ready   to   leave   his   mother’s   side,   memorising   the   lines   of   her   face   while   he   still   could.      ( the   experience   of   being   in   such   close   proximity   to   a   dead   body   would   only   prepare   him   for   what   was   to   come. )

shortly   after   her   passing,   the   barnes   family   was   moved   to   camp   lehigh   in   virginia,   where   bucky   then   spent   another   large   part   of   his   youth.

after   the   death   of   his   father   ﹠   separation   from   his   sister,   bucky   began   to   stray   from   religion   as   a   whole,   as   it   was   becoming   more   ﹠   more   dangerous   to   be   outwardly   jewish,   ﹠   his   focuses   fell   on   combat   training   within   the   military   ﹠   becoming   the   camp’s   mascot.   by   the   1940’s,   he   had   been   sent   overseas   to   england   to   receive   further   training,   the   only   remnants   of   his   faith   now   a   star   of   david   necklace   kept   hidden,   burying   his   past   ﹠   never   making   mention   of   his   lineage   to   anyone.

as   barnes   became   involved   with   captain   america   as   a   teenager,   he   became   a   counterexample   to   hitler   youth   –   helping   extensively   with   freeing   nazi   prisoners,   ﹠   later,   aiding   in   liberating   concentration   camps.   though   incredibly   proud   of   the   work   that   they   were   doing   to   defeat   the   nazi   party   ﹠   the   likes   of   red   skull,   being   on   the   front   lines   ﹠   acting   as   a   firsthand   witness   to   the   genocide   of   his   own   people   was   an   undoubtedly   scarring   experience;   after   having   his   memories   restored,   bucky,   to   this   day,   still   suffers   from   night   terrors   –   forced   to   relive   every   moment,   plagued   by   the   recollection   of   faces   from   the   days   of   liberation,   haunted   by   the   memories   of   falling   into   a   pile   of   corpses.   

nowadays,   bucky   is   incredibly   lax   when   it   comes   to   practicing   judaism,   though   he   still   observes   some   major   holidays   such   as   hanukkah,   rosh   hashanah,   ﹠   passover   whenever   he   is   able   to   (   even if it   mostly  consists   of   lighting   candles,   ﹠   a   lot   of   cooking,   because   he’s   a   very   food   motivated   individual.   )    he   still   wears   a   star   of   david   necklace   tucked    underneath   his   shirt.

if   you   ask   him   why   he   chooses   to   do   any of this,   he’ll   tell   you   it’s   to   honor   the   memory   of   his   mother   –   an   act   of   defiance   on   behalf   of   those   who   persecuted for their religious beliefs.   a reminder that his people will always persist   –   ﹠     a   source   of   comfort,   to   nurture   his   inner   child   who   never   got   the   chance   to   just   be   a   kid.
