With all due respect to Lynn Wyatt, why isn't this page being held to the standards of the pages of other living people? Most of it sounds like a press release. Again no disrespect intended towards Lynn Wyatt.24.167.105.97 (talk) 19:44, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

"Ukrainian immigrants"
The article read, "Ukrainian immigrants Tobias Sakowitz and brother Simon founded Sakowitz Bros. specialty department store in 1902, in Galveston, Texas." Tobias and Simon Sakowitz were not Ukrainian immigrants. At best, that is a geographical anachronism. At worst, it's whitewashing their ethnic heritage.

1) There was no independent Ukraine when Tobias immigrated to the United States in 1897. Most of the Ukrainian lands were part of the Russian Empire at that time.  The remaining lands were part of Austria-Hungary.  The Sakowitzes simply could not have been Ukrainian by citizenship.  (Their hometown, Korostyshiv [a.k.a. Korosteschev], was inside the Russian Empire, in the Volhynian Governorate.)

2) The Sakowitz were Jewish, which in that region, at that time, was understood as a religious affiliation and an ethnicity--both by Jews and others. The Sakowitzes were not ethnically Ukrainian, and no one would have regarded them as such. Poldy Bloom (talk) 03:10, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
