Journey Into Poland;: My Roots In Grandfather's Village

Journey Into Poland is a memoir about family and the search for my roots, but
it’s more than that. I wanted to introduce you to its enchanting beauty; its friendly,
obliging people; and sprinkle in some of its history one must know in order to understand
the Polish character.
Americans typically have little exposure to Warsaw and Krakow, and none to the
smaller villages and pure farmlands which are a world away from city life. I wanted
to share that flawless simplicity which I feel is — the real Poland, hidden from the
world and often from the descendants of those daring early adventurers who crossed
the ocean in life threatening conditions aboard overloaded boats.
The story of Polish immigrants doesn’t end with startling statistics or the intake
center at Ellis Island. It continues for decades, and sometimes we are lucky enough
to discover who we really are.
