Strange sentence

[edit]
Despite the Catholic-Polish family name with which she is associated, her affiliation with the Polish Home Army, and her connection with the Catholic rite while living in Quebec, her father, a wealthy industrialist, is thought to have been killed in a concentration camp during the war.

The implication of this strange sentence is that however Catholic she may have been once in Quebec she was not of Catholic heritage. The "despite" linking this with the fact that her father apparently died in a concentration camp seems intended to allude to Jewish origins.

But that's all very strange. Thousands upon thousands of non-Jewish Poles were killed both in and out of concentration camps during the war. So the fact of her father's dying in one is by no means incompatible with his being Catholic. --Saforrest (talk) 23:25, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know who is editing this page but...This is a photograph of Alice Parizeau. http://www.muzeum-lodz.pl/palac_historia/_poznanski_14.html. She's the daughter of Stanislaus Poznanski who is the son of Izrael Poznanski http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izrael_Poznanski, at one time one of the worlds wealthiest men. Shouldn't there be mention of this and his page linked? This article reads like the author is downplaying her Jewish heritage and wealthy family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.209.33.131 (talk) 01:36, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
