Description

Separated by six thousand miles of earth and ocean, the cities of Hamtramck and Warsaw, Poland intrically share a history of customs, pride and emotions.

Many came to Hamtramck, finding freedom and honest labor at one of the area's automobile factories. They brought with them a profound sense of unity and culture.
