Re: Jewish? airwoman in WWII
Oh, yes! Old poor Melitta! nonetheless I am wondering how many of those Jews are made up. I am fresh after a talk to a family of a Polish few, who was listed a Jew. They were much surprised to hear that their family is considered Jewish!

Being a Jew is passed down the female lineage. If there was a Jewish woman in the ancestry - then from a Jewish viewpoint - they are 'Jews' even if they do not know it. And I suspect that many neither know nor care to know that. Graham |

A Jew is not going to a church every sunday. ;)

Re: Jewishness
Hello
I omitted to say that there should be some continuity in the female lineage - a lady who produced only sons - stops the line. And naturally Jews differentiate between practising & non-practising Jews. Lilly Litvak e.g. a typical Jewish Lithuanian surname - but was she aware of it?? As for going to Church on Sunday - well what a silly suggestion ! Still..... Churches are the houses of worship for a errant Jewish sect, whose central figure never denied his origins - even if his claims are accepted / or denied. It's all a question of mindset, faith, laws perceived and obeyed, or rituals followed - but it's no excuse for murder. Graham |

RST, well, I am curious as well. As I noted previously, research on the Polish airmen of Jewish descent/religion is sloppy to say the least. I have to receive some sort of document listing the Polish airmen of Jewish religion but I am still waiting for it. Quote:

Concerning views of Gnyś, Skalski or anybody else, such a discussion without the knowledge of rather complicated ethnical/religious situation is senseless. Also, I have noted that especially Anglosaxons have problems with understanding such issues, for example that nationality is not linked to place of living or citizenship. Quote:

a word
Hi Franek
"Litvyak - if it is a Jewish name " Litvak is the current Jewish word for Lithuania - the country - I do not know the origin - though it is likely from Yiddish & not Hebrew In much English literature about the Soviet aviatrix it is spelled thus, without the 'y' I cannot read Russian - I suppose that translating Russían into Polish or English etc - can mean inserting or omitting letters to enable a more correct 'sound' Graham |
