Just a short note: the Joseph L. Mankiewicz page and the Herman J. Mankiewicz page have the same picture. As the brothers were born over 8 years apart, I doubt they were that similar in appearance. I don't know enough about editing these pages to help, or where to find an accurate picture of both gentlemen, but thought I would mention it in hopes someone else could correct this. 214.13.173.15 (talk) 22:46, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Polish or German

Why the Mankiewiczs are caterogised as Germans? They were from Poland? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.173.190.230 (talk) 14:12, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

are they Germans? I don't think so. They were Poles —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.17.162.97 (talk) 18:52, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just because they had Polish last name, doesnt mean they were Poles. Norum 21:01, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

the Polish family name derives from that side of the family coming from the city of Poznan in west Poland apparently - (Posen under german occupation). Sayerslle (talk) 14:05, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And because of the growing Polish nationalism and aggressive anti-Semitism in the 19th century, the Jewish minority of Posen identified as German. (See: "Poles, Germans and Jews in the Grand Duchy of Poznan in 1848: From Coexistence to Conflict" by Makowski, Krzysztof) 80.136.93.89 (talk) 06:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Jews spoke German and wanted to be German, so the Poles didn't like their German nationalism. The growing Polish nationalism was the answer to growing German nationalism, but, as far as I understand you, some nationalisms (e.g. the German one) are good and the other ones (the Polish one) are nasty. From the quoted source The anti-Polish steps, and above all the post-uprising repressions, spawned defensive reactions within Polish society.

The mother was probably born in Russia, which meant probably Russia occupied Poland.Xx236 (talk) 12:41, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to Mankiewicz in a February, 1983 interview (on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aTNbVyI2Gc), his father Franz was born in Berlin's Alexanderplatz, and immigrated to the U.S. from Berlin. He said that his mother was from a "German-speaking enclave" in the Baltic state of Kurland, which is now in Latvia. As to the surname itself, he said that although it is obviously of Polish provenance, he had no idea what the Polish connection may have been. It is remarkable that previous versions of the article stated, with citations, that Mankiewicz's parents were from Poland, when there is no evidence of that, and when Mankiewicz himself knew of no family members or ancestors who were Polish or from Poland. In his youth, his father sent him to Berlin to study German drama, so it seems probable that the family used German at home at least some of the time.

IPA

Does anyone know how to pronounce his surname correctly?

I ask because Oxford gives different IPA than the one put in all articles on Mankiewiczs: here.

There's one YouTube video where announcer pronounces something very weird but that's still nothing without valid reference to confirm IPA given in Wikipedia article.

I think everyone agrees pronunciation should be as in American English, not Polish or whatever...

This was the edit that changed initial pronunciation given.--5.43.73.181 (talk) 07:22, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
