Many lands are multi-ethnic lands. The territory of Poland in the 1920s was a land of Poles, Jews, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Belarussians, Germans, and even Swedes and Roma. You cannot claim that because a person was born in an area that was part of one nation's territorial acquisitions, that person is of that nationality's ethnic dominance. It is pseudo-scientific and offensive to many ethnicities. Where does it suggest that Franz Werfel was ethnically Czech? The word Czech never in history was used as a blanket term for anyone born in Czech lands. It is a specific term referring to Slavic-speaking inhabitants of Bohemia and Moravia who identified as Czech. Werfel was by all standard double-checked references online an Austrian Bohemia (sometimes known as German-Bohemian). If anyone wishes to point out he is a Bohemian by birth, make a category that is sufficient for that. 141.211.251.69 22:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
This is all original research. If reliable sources describe someone as Czech, that is all that Wikipedia requires.-- Runcorn 18:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
I contributed an original article to Wikipedia on Elisabeth Jerichau-Baumann. She was born in Poland of German parentage and married a Dane. Various editors have changed her nationality several times since I first wrote the article. It appears to be about nationalism in that case and not about reliable references at all. Could we be dealing with the same problem here? Mike Hayes ( talk) 01:33, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
The Wikipedia bibliography of Franz Werfel does not mention his book "Cella, or the Survivors." I come from a family of German Jewish refugees from the Holocaust. Werfel's book on the subject is the most chillingly accurate on-the-ground account of what was happening at the time for cosmopolitan Jewish civilians in Europe who were trying desperately to get out. Although it is out-of-print, that is no reason to exclude it from the bibliography especially with the vast resources available on the internet for finding books. Thank you.

I've added his small but remarkable work Eine blassblaue Frauenschrift to the list, as it seems, still quite unknown to the English-speaking world. Wayasu ( talk) 19:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Just what does "having Jewish features" mean? Mannanan51 ( talk) 01:57, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
