I think there are two sets of values here.
One is place of birth.
Two is family lineage.
For those who find place of birth to be the most important...he would be Polish.
For those who find lineage (ancestry) most important, he would be German.
Us poor Ammies.....that just leaves us with lineage!

We say "Irish-American", "German-American", "African-American"...etc.
do you mean that most of Americans should call them selves Irish, Scottish, German, Polish etc?

Why would Belarussians be purest Slavs? Did they not get to mix with others over history? I don't see any barriers.....
*scratches head*
originally all Slavs looked like Byelorussians (Bialorusini) who mostly have brown hair and eyes, and are believed to be of the the purest Slavic blood.

Those are good points you made SS, but it won't stop the "boys" from wrestling over it! :) hehe
ethnicity is very fluid. The genes and culturization are two different things.
This may have been the case with Copernik. In any case, I doubt there was such a strong sense of what country you were from back then. Nationalism is a fairly modern thing.

What about Marie Curie?
Was she French or Polish?
Marie Skłodowska–Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934) was a physicist and chemist of Polish upbringing and, subsequently, French citizenship. She was a pioneer in the field of radioactivity, the only person honored with Nobel Prizes in two different sciences, and the first female professor at the University of Paris.
