These Jews are Poles of Jewish faith nonetheless aren't they? Why distinguish?
Except most Poles didn't consider Jews as fellow Polish neighbors for the majority of Polish history. It's funny how now when Poles have realized all the great accomplishments Jews have made, they then try to say they are their fellow Polish brethren.
EDIT To OP: For all the interest you show in innovations you keep reading wrong material, Daily Mail will never get you up to speed.
Let's take a look at all the Nobel Prize winners in science from Poland. A * indicates they are Jewish.
Georges Charpak*, Physics, 1992
Roald Hoffmann*, Chemistry, 1981
Tadeus Reichstein*, Physiology or Medicine, 1950
Marie Skłodowska-Curie, Chemistry, 1911 + Physics, 1903

As you can see, 3 of the 4 Nobel Prize science winners from Poland are Jewish despite the fact that Jews were a minority.
So much for the theory that ethnic Poles are the smartest people in the world as claimed by many users here such as polskimoc.
Also, Jews account for over 20% of Nobel Prize winners. That is over 200 winners in total while Poland has only been awarded 12 Nobel Prize awards. I'm being generous with the latter too because I'm counting Jews.
