    TIL my ancestors weren’t Polish, they were Ukrainian. Or maybe they were both or neither, as neither country existed when they emigrated. They spoke Polish but emigrated from Galicia. /s

      I can’t remember the exact historic context*, but the joke goes that Old Sol liked to boast that he’d been born in Poland, then became Austrian, then German, and ended up a citizen of the soviet Union, all without ever leaving his hometown.

      *yes, I’m an ignorant american.

        That makes sense. The region sometimes known as Poland changed hands a lot, including during the 1900s. I’d expect it to go Austria --> Poland, though. But I’m also an ignorant American.
