Polish minority in Romania

[Peterski]

I thought Ashkenazi Jews at least were lighter?

Only slightly lighter than Sephardic Jew.

And still much darker than "goys" around them. According to a 1902 book "Jews as Physical Race", Ashkenazi Jews represent mainly Armenoid, Alpinid and Med types. Alpinid type extends from the Himalayas (Pamiri Tajiks, among whom frequency of blond-haired and blue-eyed individuals is up to 27% according to this book) to the Atlantic Ocean. Ashkenazi Jews are also slightly less brunette (30-60% of pure brunettes) than Italian Meds (50-66%). European Alpinids have only 16-29% of pure brunette types, so percentage of pure brunette types among Ashkenazi Jews is intermediate between Mediterranids and Euro Alpinids. Blond types among Ashkenazi Jews are 8-20%, less than among Alpines (including Non-Eur Alpines such as Pamiri Tajiks near the Himalayas) but more than among Meds. Brown is the main hair color among Jews.

and that afterwards my great-great-grandfather left because the Poles were going to turn against them as they were Jewish??? I mean, I did hear that Poles turned in Jewish people in WW2, but the rest?

Add to this also "Nazis" from some ethnically ambiguous distant planet and we will have a nice fairy tale!:

I'm not saying there are no tall and blonde Jews with blue eyes, but these types are not common among them at all.

Just ask user Meerkat, she is our resident expert on Jewish phenotypes.

Nop, Meerkat is very complexed girl and deeply hates euro,especially anglo, looking askhenazi.According to her Barbara Streissand or Howard Stern are very atypical/don't pass for askhenazies wheras any idiot with some knowledge can recognize them as jews despite anglo mix.Why?Because many askhenazies selectively breed themselves with anglo looking askhenazies and she looks nothing like them and developed an inferiority complex towards any askhenazi with any anglo features.

^How do you know who is 100% Ashkenazi and who isn't? Many Jews are mixed with Whites today.

When those anthropological studies about Jews were published (1800s-1900s) they were less mixed.

Also Jews who could pass better as non-Jews had a better chance to survive WW2. That was selection.

Off topic but i'm curious. Do you know about "Pomaks are Pole's who came from Podolia, after Ottoman-Polish wars" claim? Some Bulgarians claimed it.

No, never heard about this claim before. And it seems ridiculous.

Russian Tsars deprived most of Polish nobles of their status, because after Russia annexed Polish lands in 1772-1795, Polish nobility in the Russian Empire was more numerous than Russian nobility.so they had to fix that by reducing the number of Polish nobles.

"Most" is a bit too far. There were actually more hereditary Polish nobles in the Russian Empire than there were Russian ones. Georgians had the largest proportion tho.

Yes, i agree with you.

In the 1930s, the Polish community in Romania was estimated at around 80,000. people. During the Second World War, Poles from Bukovina joined to the Romanian army, the Wehrmacht ally. Many men did not return from the war, died on the eastern front or were sent to Soviet labor camps.
