[1] Born to an agnostic Jewish father and a Roman Catholic mother who also had Jewish ancestry. His mother died at Auschwitz, and his father was an inmate at Mauthausen. Certainly he was persecuted by the Nazis as a Jew. It is not clear what, if any, religious views Polanski currently possesses. See also: "Actress, 4 Others Slain", Chicago Tribune, 10 August 1969: "Polanski says he was born Jewish, was brought up as a Roman Catholic." Vanessa Thorpe, "Waiting to Come in from the Cold", The Observer, 7 December 2008, calls him a "Jewish boy in Poland."
