Many descendants of Polish Jews try to determine when exactly their father (or grandfather, great-grandfather) arrived abroad, and investigate when exactly they managed to receive a different citizenship. Upon discovering that citizenship was granted before 1951, they often give up hope of obtaining a Polish passport. However, in practice, military service and Polish citizenship\u2014retaining or forfeiting citizenship\u2014are more complex than they seem.<\/p>\n
Even if you are a descendant of a Polish citizen who left Poland shortly after WWII, you may still be eligible for Polish citizenship<\/a>, provided you submit a detailed application with all the documents proving your claim. It depends on the original Polish citizen’s age, the date of immigration, and the “military paradox” of acquiring foreign citizenship while still being eligible for conscription into the Polish army had they remained in Poland.<\/p>\n
