you really don't know the history? i thought people on here would be experts on esoteric jew shit. iirc the reason why there are so many german and polish sounding surnames is that that's where the bulk of jews happened to be when the big push for everyone to register with a surname started to happen. people did get to pick their own last names to some extent, but the rich jews got to register the prettier sounding ones first (eg. rosenfeld-"rosefield") and the pooroids were stuck with the generally uglier sounding ones.  but yeah all the -felds and -steins and -skis are named that because of the language of the country they registered in. i'm surprised they didn't force them to pick more obviously jewwy names, though.
