The web site calls them "Polish-origin", so they define them correctly. Perhaps, they don't realize the amount of resentment some Jews have towards Poland.

It is a well-known fact that Jews in Eastern Europe, including Poland, were never considered citizens of the countries in which they lived. It seems to me that, if the country in which they lived did not give them full citizenship, and in fact, did its best to drive them out, that country has no right to claim credit for their accomplishments.

Or are you counting Jews separately in every country?

The United States is a completely different situation. Jews have full citizenship here.

It's not known to me. And if there were tensions, the blame should probably be assigned equally. And what about Western Europe and Einstein?

So I guess they should be primarily loyal to America and not Israel, eh?

Inny,
As usual, I have to correct your geographical and historical mistakes made in the above posted sentence.
1) Poland is not located in Eastern Europe.
2) Jews who lived in Europe before WWII were citizens of the countries that they lived in.
