It's German, whether or not it's possessor is Jewish.
F.e, actor Max Schreck (1879-1936) in the original version of the film "Nosferatu"; also, Julius Schreck(1898-1936), the first commander of the SS and a close friend of Adolf Hitler.
Wikipedia's entry on Max Schreck suggests that the animated character Shrek may be named after the German actor.

The answer is "yes".
What I mean is probably both are true. Schreck is used in German and Yiddish, which is a dialectic derivation of Hebrew and German, or Hebrew and Polish depending on the region.
Hope this helps.
