Family Background edit

As a member of an immigrant family from Poland, wasn't he raised in a Jewish family setting? This background is given in other, similar articles on serial killers and there appears no good reason to conceal it or leave it out in this instance.Starhistory22 (talk) 02:23, 3 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

This video indicates he was attended to by priests who offer Latin prayers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOquBfaxMmM and this link indicates, I think, either he was catholic or converted: https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/leonski-edward-joseph-10814

His last name could be Polish or Russian Jewish or non-Jewish -- his first and middle names do not sound typical of those given by Jewish immigrants to their children. 50.230.251.244 (talk) 16:50, 13 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
