Jerzy Kluger
〔http://www.youareanidiot.com〕Jerzy Kluger (5 April 1921 – 31 December 2011) was a Polish Jewish businessman who lived in Rome. He was born in 1921 in Kraków and raised in Wadowice〔(Jerzy Kluger obituary in ''The Washington Post'' )〕 where, as a small boy, he met and became a personal friend of Karol Wojtyła, later Archbishop of Kraków and eventually Pope John Paul II.〔(How Boyhood Friend Aided Pope With Israel )〕
==Early life==
Jerzy Kluger was born in Kraków, Poland on 4 April 1921 and was raised in Wadowice. His father, Wilhelm, was a lawyer. The Klugers were members of the Jewish community of Wadowice, of which Wilhelm was president, but he nonetheless insisted that his family mix Jewish and secular identites. Hence, the family spoke Polish as opposed to Yiddish, and Jerzy and his siblings attended public schools as opposed to religious ones. The Jewish community of Wadowice had good relations with their Catholic neighbors, though anti-Semitism was not uncommon.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/08/world/europe/jerzy-kluger-pope-john-paul-iis-jewish-confidant-dies-at-90.html〕
Kluger, who was called Jurek as a boy, met John Paul, then Karol Wojtyła and nicknamed Lolek, before they were 5. They skied, hiked and played sports together; young Karol played goalie on Wadowice’s Jewish soccer team. They helped each other with homework, made devilish fun of teachers and visited each other’s homes almost daily.〔http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-01-02/world/35439518_1_jerzy-kluger-catholic-jewish-relations-future-pope〕 Karol Wojtyla enjoyed listening to Wilhelm’s string quartet, composed of two Catholics and two Jews. Kluger loved to hear his friend’s father tell tales of Polish kings and castles in front of his coal-fired stove. He did not love his grandmother’s repeated question: “Why can’t you be more like Lolek?”〔 One incident left a profound impact on Kluger. After learning that both boys had passed their high school exams, he ran to the church, where he knew he would find his friend, to share the news. Another parishioner recognized Kluger as a Jew and asked why he had come. When Wojtyla heard about the exchange, he responded, “Aren’t we all God’s children?”〔
