Hey, can someone tell me if at least one of Peter Skrzynecki's parents is/are jewish ? id very much appreciate that.

Im writing an essay and was wondering if that could be one challenge he faced by going to a Christain school .

This is in relation to the poem 'St Patrick's College'

:confused:

Thank you!
looking at my notes i just realised. However i was confused about whether or not they were jewish because in my study manual i bought from a senior hsc marker it asks a question:

Why would someone who must have had at least one Jewish parent, be sent to a catholic school?

and on the internet i cant seem to find info about his parents being Je, only that they were prosecuted.

??

That was how I saw it. And most biographies refer to his background as Polish Catholic.
