It is worth noting that despite the political situation which existed at the time (officially Poland did not exist as a separate country), Jerzy was born into a Roman Catholic family which considered itself to be Polish and was certainly Polish speaking.
Ito ay nagkakahalaga ng pagpuna na sa kabila ng pampulitikang sitwasyon na kung saan nabuhay sa panahon (opisyal Poland ay hindi na umiiral bilang isang hiwalay na bansa), Jerzy ay ipinanganak sa isang Katoliko Romano pamilya na isinasaalang-alang sa sarili na maging Polish at noon ay tiyak Polish pagsasalita.
