History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [586]
You say all that, but it was relatively few Jews (mainly kapos and understandably-frustrated Jews), if any; and the Jews were the main victims of the Holocaust.

Hang on, though: I never said that you didn't have Khazar blood. I just said that that's not your primary identity (and it least it shouldn't be!).
Just because Jews who do not have any Khazar blood "don't think" anyone else does... doesn't make it true! And their view is extremely biased (for obvious reasons).

He did have a Q1b marker, so he's a Jew of Khazar descent--which I don't mind as long as he's not shilling for Arthur Koestler or Shlomo Sand. Also, 52% of Ashkenazim Lewj'im have R1a1.

- I'm a Jew of Jewish-Polish and Slovakian-Polish descent.
- I have Jewish (Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Slovakian, Austrian, Hungarian), Slovakian-Polish, and Irish, French, Belgian, German, Scottish, English, and Spanish blood. The French-Belgian-German and Spanish bloods could well be Ashkenazi and Sefardi Jewish, though.
- I'm estranged from my dad's family for the most part, but I keep many of the Jewish (not the assimilationist) traditions.
- What else would you like to know?
Who was your granddad? We might be related. A whole group of my family--the Chernetskis, Andrulewiczes, Daniłowiczes, and Morgiewiczes--came to PA (mostly Luzerne County), NJ (mostly Hudson County), and (I guess) NY to flee the pogroms and live as Anusim in America.

It is also an Ashkenazic Jewish ornamental name adopted in reference to God's promise to the Jewish people that they would be as many as the grains of sand upon the shore of the sea. Other spellings of the name include SANDGREN (sand branch), SANDMARK (sand territory), ZANDBERG (sand hill), SANDHAUS (sand house), SAND, SANDE, SANDSTEIN and ZANDSZTAJN (Polish). The Swedes have in recent times combined two words together to manufacture family names to take the place of their common patronymics, terminating in BERG (mountain), STROM (stream), ALM (elm), BLAD (leaf), HED (meadow), LUND (grove), SKOG (forest) and WAHL (field), to name but a few.

But the surname does sound suspect to many, and the Talmud is chock full of pedophila. For example, Jewamot (Yevamot) 55b and Ketubot 39a--specifically one that applies to Sandusky:

PWEI accused you of being a bigot. And anyway, why else would you have brought it up? Either you're Jewish like me, you noted the Talmud angle, or you're an Anti Semite. As a Jew, I looked up if Sandusky was Jewish (I'm not going to lie.). Meanwhile, if he is Jewish and followed the Talmud in secret would not surprise me--and anyway, Sandusky's near non cooperation with the police and manner in the NBC interview, and Joe Paterno's dropping the ball set Sandusky's fate.
Here's my hope, meanwhile: that Sandusky is Jewish is actually the case, Judaism, the Talmud, and Crypto Judaism are looked long and hard at; and the prophecy is fulfilled: "And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places as at the first. I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me."

Polish. If he is Jewish, though, I would not be surprised--maybe shocked, but not surprised. Many P'rushim Anusim follow the Talmud in secret; and P'rushi Judaism is part of why more and more Jews have become secular or even outright Atheist, Buddhist or Hindu (i.e., "BuJews" and "HindJews"), or even Messianic over the years (though some Messianics still rely heavily on the Talmud).

One factor has an overwhelming negative influence on my experience here. No one ever smiles. Everyone has a long face and seems to be constantly miserable. You see it everywhere, on the buses and trams, even on the streets of this wonderful, bustling city of Warsaw.

Point taken, but we sure don't mumble in my family.
Well, in our case, what happened was that the Fockos (Foczkos) on our side converted to Slovakian-Hungarian Catholicism. The Polish Fockos (Foczkos) remained religiously Jewish.
What about Andrulewicz or Andrulevich? In other words, could it be broken into "Andru" (From the Lithuanian for "Andrew") and "Lewicz" ("Levitch", "ben-Levi"; in other words, "Levite")?
Point taken, but we sure don't mumble in my family.
Regardless whether it is Foćko or Focko, Polish is a variant-rich language and the old first name Fortunat has generated a variety of forms including Foc, Foca, Focan, Fociuk, Focz and probably many more. With names often a 'unique-case scenario' comes into play -- a name thought up and used by only one family or even one branch of a given family.
