BACK FROM EUROPE.....Part I POLAND

First leg of our trip was Poland. It was all about Rico's family (who came from Poland) and following our Jewish roots throughout the country. I arrived in Krakow and thought I had just stepped back into time. Many of the buildings were varying shades of grey, with bursts of color in the doors and windows. Krakow is somewhat cosmopolitan, with glimpse's into the past. All I was thinking and feeling about was being a Jew in Poland during WWII, and at one time the largest Jewish population in Europe. Most of them were deported to various concentration camps. Every step I took, I wondered who stepped here before me?
