About this goal

Several years ago, I researched the Irish side of my family’s heritage, culminating with a trip to Ireland to see the country and places where my family came from. My recent exploration into my mother’s family history has created a desire to go to Poland and see the places from which our ancestors came. This actually comprises about a third of my family heritage. I’ve begun to learn more about the country am working to find out more about the places from which they came and locate any possible records.

I am hoping to visit Poland sometime in 2013. This trip is more daunting than the trip to Ireland, mostly due to the language gap. Amania from this site has graciously offered to assist me and even host me. Also, I have begun to use Pimsleur audio recordings to learn the Polish language. There is so much I want to learn about and see. I feel this could be a great adventure.

I would love to go to Poland as well.

Are you going to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau?

I considered it...

…and discussed it with my friend. We decided not to add it to the places we will see. It is a very important place and I don’t think that we as a people can ever forget the tragedy of the Holocaust. I think it is also a very affecting place and have made the personal decision not to visit at this time.

I definitely agree. I know someone else who went to Poland and also skipped it because it would be too emotional.
