On the Road with Yankl and Rifka
For five decades, my parents vowed never to set foot again in the country where Germans, Ukrainians and Poles had carried out the extermination of European Jewry. Then, in 1998, they decided to make one final trip to Poland to see their home towns, to visit the train station and forest where they last saw their families alive, to thank the Righteous Gentiles who gave them shelter. I went along with my parents and wrote Return to Poland when I came back home.
