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.
