Here are some old pictures, taken when I still lived in Poland. I hope you will enjoy them; feel free to use the photos as you wish for any personal or educational purposes.
Too bad I could not find a defaced copy. [1984] |

| Łódź, the city where I was born and raised. The city square with the monument of General Kościuszko (who fought Russians in Poland and Brits in the American Revolution); the main street [1984]. | ...and the poorer part of the city, which was much neglected under the Communist rule [1982]. | |

Note of 2004: A US-based reader of these pages writes: ...My grandmother lived in that wooden housing unit depicted in your picture. The house was burned down in the mid 90's ... I still remember coming to her house in the 80's and hanging out with the local kids. I remember carrying water to her apartment because it had no running water or plumbing. No shower either, just an outhouse... Small world. |
