When Kerry Was Kohn: The Jewish Roots of John Kerry
Senator John Kerry, with his mother’s New England patrician pedigree and his Irish last name actually has a grandfather who was born a Jew in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.
His paternal grandfather Frederick A. Kerry, was born Fritz Kohn in a town in what today is the Czech Republic before changing his name ahead of his immigration to the United States a century ago. - -As of 04/24/2022: https://www.haaretz.com/jewish/.premium-when-kerry-was-kohn-1.5279459
