Today I found out that my Uncle Myer will be joining me on the Poland trip. This is great news on many levels, and I am really looking forward to spending some time together.
Now, having a travel companion, it makes sense to take the private tour through the hotel concierge connection. So, at least for the Auschwitz/Birkenau day we will have a really detailed, personal tour and opportunity to learn.
Ever wonder what it's like traveling to Europe to find your roots? In April 2011 I spent 9 days in Berlin, and then Poland. Visiting Szydlow, Rakow and Potok where my Grandparents and their ancestors were born and lived was definitely an eye opening experience. Visiting Auschwitz, Birkenau and the Schindler Factory was very emotional and leaves a last impression. This blog will share my images, thoughts and feelings about this memorable trip back in time.
Why am I blogging a trip to Poland?
For over 20 years I've been working on a Family Tree, tracing the BETEL family back to the late 1700s.
Traveling to Berlin and then Poland was a life changing experience. I hope you take the time to read through the stories and see the many images included.
