Regarding the "Nationality" of Max Fleischer.
This message is for "Oli." I trust that you have received my extensive message about accurately stating the Nationality of Max Fleischer. It has been confusing and difficult trying to figure out how to respond to your "edits." During the course of this issue since my entry was altered in October, I have seen subtle changes in it, perhaps due to my responses. But the statement naming Fleischer as a "Polish American" remains as a false claim for the reasons already explained in explicit detail.
Once again, while he was "born" in Krakow, which was included officially into Poland by 1919, he was in all respects an American citizen and was Naturalized in 1934. While he was "born" in the region, he was not "raised" there since he was brought to the U.S. at age four, as previously explained. The fact that he was "raised" in the U.S. makes him an American, and his title is correctly cited as an "American Animation Pioneer," not a "Polish-American Animator."
While my book is cited as one of the sources for your "claim" of Polish Nationality, the link to page seven contradicts this, stating clearly that Max was born in Krakow, "under the THEN Austrian-Hungarian Empire. While I sense a "romantic sentiment" to include Max as a Pole of accomplishment, this is a gross distortion of all recorded facts, which have been outlined.
Once again, I would suggest that this matter be better clarified since the entry as altered remains inaccurate.
