That's not quite right, I don't think. As I heard it, she was raised a Catholic and converted to Episcopalianism. She still maintains that she had no inkling of her Czech family's Jewish past until a Washington Post story came out during her tenure as Secretary of State and revealed that all of her grandparents were Jewish and several had died in the camps.
