 == Dzerzhinsky ancestry. == 

 @ Ceoil. My comment to you is this... why is the fact that Dzerzhinsky or Stalin part jewish ""non-sense"" to you. I am fully aware that there is an effort to try and remove such uncomfortable facts from the open dialogue, and that's why I have to defend this position.  

 I'll give you a great example of another polish individual who has jewish roots... and that is the former Polish President Lech Kaczyński. Yes, his ancestral name was Kalkstein later changed to Kaczyński. This fact is not very well known to the general public, and Kaczyński himself tried to keep a low profile on this matter though never denying it. But, just because name changes occur and the person in question does not identify with his ancestry does negate the fact they they are who they are."
