Wikipedia's article on the history of the Jews in Poland, community-edited. Reliable for the standard account of the 1264 Statute of Kalisz granting Jews the freedom to worship, trade and travel, and for the Holocaust's destruction of Polish Jewry, three million dead, ninety percent of the pre-war community, between 1939 and 1945; not the right source for a precise figure on the mid-sixteenth-century population share, which the article itself states only approximately as about three quarters of the world's Jews.
