yes and there’s a multitude of reasons why mid-century jewish emigres changed their names. you fucking asshole.
jews were the most persecuted people in europe during this time, you know, and british society was extremely anti-semitic. to become part of accepted or established society, jews have been changing their surnames for generations. in the case of the US, for many poor immigrants arriving from eastern europe, for e.g., changing your surname to a 'westernized' version was practically encouraged when disembarking and registering at places like ellis island, NY. (and a lot of first-generation immigrants painfully felt this loss of identity.)
it’s amazing. on the one hand, you blame foreign cultures for never assimilating. on the other, if someone points to all of the ‘secular’ jews who changed their names, dropped their religious practice, went on to careers in academia/business/industry/etc, you only see shadowy conspiracy.
you are absolutely nuts. half of the best american physicists of the last century were jewish emigres, and half of those changed their surnames. grow the fuck up dilbert.
