Plac Burekow (the Burek place) part 2


The original home from which Mateusz left has been replaced, but the outbuildings were probably there when he emigrated to America. The ladies in the picture are also Burek relatives with different surnames. We're standing in the place where our grandfather stood as he left Poland. There is another Burek family member who emigrated to South Africa, here but not pictured. This was an emotional moment as you might imagine. Everywhere we went, we were treated with overwhelming hospitality and kindness, even in this quixotic venture. This is a true Polish home.

  1. Wow!! Amazing posts!!! BTW, thanks for using the English version for me. "Mateusz" is still a great namesake, though.
