Binkowicz seems to be a polish jewish surname.

I don't think so. Seems to be... very normal.

Listed as Jewish surname in towns of Nadarzyn and Stawiszyn.

Nadarzyn is interesting as a place where Polish resistance fighters hid after the Warsaw uprising in 1943. The Battalion Zoska (Polish) and the AL Brigade (Jewish inmates rescued from the Gesiowka concentration camp by Zozka) continued to fight together against SS units. Few survived.

It is unlikely that any Jewish people are living in Stawiszyn.

You are confusing 43 ghetto uprising with 44 uprising.

Most of "Jewish" surnames I've seen are in fact Polish, German or Russian.

Thats correct.
Sadly Poland missed the rich jiddish culture.
In the old Poland, there maybee was 70 - 80 % polish the rest was ruthenian,lithauan,german and the polish jews.

Thanks. If I had thought for 5 seconds I would have known that 1943 could not have been the right date.
