That’s peculiar it’s pretty common knowledge where I’m from. Polish people are a sort of exception but many Polish Jews historically were forced to become Christian because of pogroms and such unfortunately. Maybe that’s why? As I read more online it seems to be associated with Polish people rather than Jews so go figure.
Edit: Ohhhh it’s because most Polish immigrants to the U.S. were Jewish but not all of course. Hence the confusion. A lot of Jews left Poland when WW2 was breaking out for obvious reasons
Words are very unnecessary
