CNN has a program showing roots of their personalities. One of the most known is Wolf Blitzer, American Jew. He is really a good anchor and his programs are among the most popular in CNN. Here is the video where he presents his past. His family on both sides lived in Poland and his grandparents died during Holocaust in Auschwitz. The family was living in Mielec, Skarzysko, Oswiecim (auschwitz) and Katowice. He was born in Germany but then his family migrated to Buffalo, US. situationroom.blogs.cnn.com/2014/10/15/wolf-blitzers-emotional-roots-journey/?hpt=sr_mid

A very respectable and capable journalist. Whilst very much long past time of watching him on the TV news, but not thinking of his origins. Until your introduction of him as a topic, was not until this time to check on his back ground. Once found, very much surprised of him and family back ground.

Karl,
it is amazing how all of our lives are interwinded. So many people have Polish roots, I am pretty sure that my family has some GErman roots.... Wolf Blitzer is a great guy, I am not so surprised of his Polish roots, since many ASshkenazi Jews has Polish roots. This all changed so much due to WW II.
