May she RIP. π
Quite interesting that Jews tend to overperform among the oldest Polish-born people ever! Israel Kristal, Rose Girone, Maria Gerstman, Alexander Imich, et cetera. I wonder if there is something to Ashkenazi Jewish genetics that makes an increased lifespan for them more likely, including at extreme ages. (I'm 1/4 Ashkenazi Jewish myself, so this comment is NOT meant to be offensive AT ALL!)
