If I thought they were correct, I would not have asked here. <br /><br />I meant merely that I asked *because* Wikipedia identified him this way, and I was trying to find out the truth. I could not find any other source identifying him as Jewish, so I asked here. <br /><br />I have no problem accepting what you wrote. By the way, what is your source? Not giving you a hard time, just asking. Thank you.

Śmietański was an ethnic Pole from working class.<br /><br />There is a hearsay that he was a Jew and that he fled to Israel after 1968. In reality he died of tuberculosis in 1950. He was buried on Bródnowski Cemetery in Warsaw.<br />There were Jews named Śmietański, hence that rumor.<br /><br />His surname comes from word "śmietana" (sour cream), popular ingredient in both polish and jewish cuisine.<br /><br />Polish Jews and Catholic Poles could share surnames. <br />For example Father Leonard Prochownik from Wadowice was not Jewish despite his surname.

In addition, Nazi plans called for the forced starvation of 20-30 million Slavs in the wake of the German invasion of its erstwhile Soviet ally. Only the lack of sufficient German manpower, and the failure of Soviet military resistance to collapse in 1941, as had been expected, had prevented this from happening at anywhere near the scale planned. There were also German plans for the mass starvation of Poles, but these foundered because of the circumstances of the war. For further details on all this, please click on my name in this specific posting. <br /><br />I am not surprised to read about the Christian woman who complained that focus on Polish suffering takes away from Jewish suffering--when precisely the opposite is true. It just goes on to show how well most of the population has been trained by decades of Holocaust education.
