There's no evidence Chaplin was Jewish. The Third Reich believed he was but he denied it.
Well I heard he was. He may well quite have denied it though, or not even known for certain. There's no reason to be ashamed of it unless for a personal reason.

I think its quite obvious from looking at that photo of him there's some Jewishness there.

There was an excellent series about Charlie Chaplin on Radio 4 which is still available:

So he may have been descended from Romani gypsies then. I wouldn't think less of him for that.

I knew about his mother having been in an asylum, in fact one thing I admire about him was that he took her out of the Mental Hospital where she was when he became famous and took care of her in the USA where she remained till her death.

I may be wrong about him being Jewish, but I do think he looked it.
