Are you going to profile famed swimmer Katie Ledecky during these profiles (thanks for the temporary return to daily ones)? She's actually 1/4 Jewish (paternal grandfather, who came here from what was then called Czechoslovakia a couple of years after WW II, so her last name is "Jewish". She wasn't brought up Jewish, but worth a profile.....
OK well either way thanks for the quick profile on her. Wikipedia said it was her grandfather (but then again it is Wikipedia :-) and someone has since changed it on there to grandmother.

ReplyDeleteIt was Ledecky's paternal grandmother who is Jewish (a Jewish American). I don't believe her Czech grandfather was Jewish.
