Rabbi 10.7×

Poland's former royal capital shows the shape of that history in its stats. The 10.7× rabbi over-index is the pre-war Kazimierz Jewish quarter; the painter and composer bumps trace the Young Poland movement around Jan Matejko and Stanisław Wyspiański; and the mathematician index is the Lwów-Warsaw school of Stefan Banach and the generation that followed him into the logic seminars on Floriańska Street.
