I am the descendent of Polish and Russian Jews, only a couple of wich made it out of Europe. Good stock them. They were pretty smart too, some how we became Catholic somewhere along the line. I've never figured that one out. So besides a good nose, and an ok sense of humor I figure I got the best of both worlds.

After we all die will it really matter who was what?

Lots of Polish Catholics around here. They probably converted to be less visible given the various pograms they escaped. Dying for your faith is still dying after all.
