Newport, I don't have Encyclopaedia Iudaica in front of me, but I have an article on Eugene Ionesco from Lettre Internationale - Romanian Edition (51/2004). Matei Călinescu writes on Eugene Ionesco: "simte «evreu», sau are tendinţa să devină ceea ce aş numi un «evreu imaginar». Întâlnirea cu Sebastian e aici semnificativă: mărturisindu-i originea posibilă a mamei sale lui Sebastian, el ţine să adauge că a făcut pentru ea ceea ce se cuvenea creştineşte la moartea ei." or in English: he "feels «Jew», or has the tendency to become what I'd call an «imaginary Jew». His meeting with Sebastian (my note: a Jewish writer) is significant: testifying the possible origin of his mother to Sebastian, he likes to add he fulfilled the Christian duties on her death (as you can see from the article she was a Christian)".
As such, taking from an less reliable source (an encyclopedia) a testimony of his (why don't you quote him if he really said that?) and using that reference to add him as Jewish writer in the "List of Romanian Jews" it seems to be an outstretch and a blatant POV. And we already have the testimony of his daughter that this alleged Jewish origin would eventually come from a great-grandmother which would mean at best 1/8 of his genetic ancestry. Cheers.
