Franek,


Thank you for your reply. My parents were born in Poland. My father was captured by German troops and put in a forced labor camp. Here he met my mother. After the capitulation of Germany, my parents went to the United States. During the Cold War we received mail from relatives in Poland.

It is frustrating to see that those who are somehow in a position to do so still attempt to exploit or bully those in a different position. I guess all I'm saying is that, even in the US, I see things that sadden me because they are unjust but all I can do is work within the system. Otherwise, I am using up my emotional energy and I've realized that in my position, there is not much more I can do.


Poland lives on,

Ed
