The Best Polish Restaurant in Buffalo by William Kowalski

4.0

I really enjoyed this book because it gave me a peek into what my grandmother, Anna Szeliga must have went through when she emigrated to this country. She and my grandfather, Adam, raised 11 children in a small house in Buffalo. My father was the baby. He was bilingual and did not talk much about the old country. I grew up feeling ashamed of my Polish heritage and Polish jokes and this book gave me a sense of why the people of Poland were so oppressed and suffered so much. Also, many of the names and stories included in this book about the Buffalo area were familiar to me growing up. A great read!
