Let us just note for now that Alfred Tarski was actually born with the family name of Teitelbaum, and for about the first 22 years of his life was known as Alfred Teitelbaum. Ignacy Teitelbaum had married Rosa Prussak and, although Rosa never had a career, and therefore never had the opportunity to show her intellect, it was through his mother rather than his father that Tarski inherited his brilliance.
Sa amin para sa ngayon lamang tandaan na Alfred Tarski ay tunay na ipinanganak sa pamilya pangalan ng Teitelbaum, at para sa mga tungkol sa unang 22 taon ng kanyang buhay noon ay kilala bilang Alfred Teitelbaum. Ignacy Teitelbaum had kasal Rosa Prussak at, bagaman Rosa hindi nagkaroon ng karera, at sa gayon ay hindi nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na ipakita ang kanyang diwa, ito ay sa pamamagitan ng kanyang ina kaysa sa kanyang ama na Tarski minana sa kanyang kaningningan.
