The above website appears to not meet the requirements of being a reliable source since it is self published. There is a discussion [here]. There is also a discussion at the [plagiarism talk page] about how to handle this issue.-Crunchy Numbers (talk) 03:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Jewish

Added some information on his ties to Judaism. I'm wondering whether Freuchen belongs under the "Danish Jews" category despite not being born or converting to Judaism. He made claims to being Jewish long before WWII (1934 article linked) and was later married to a Jewish woman. What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.179.162.66 (talk) 11:19, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Since Freuchen wasn't born Jewish and didn't convert to Judaism, he should not be listed as a Danish Jew. He did abhor anti-Semitism. It was for that reason that he sometimes claimed to be Jewish, just as you or I might claim to be Muslim--although we are not--if Trump succeeds in forcing Muslims to register. He was showing solidarity of the spirit against atrocious ignorance and intolerance. Younggoldchip (talk) 17:57, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Linked Freuchen's birth record and got rid of the article claiming he was born to a Jewish family. --144.178.29.84 (talk) 20:12, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
