Although I was born in a little town called Zduny, I spent many years of my life before emigration (i.e. 28 years) 50 miles to the north of the city of Wroc³aw (Breslau, Vratislav, Vratislavia, etc.). Because it is very unlikely that I will ever again live in a single geographical location for such a long time, Wroc³aw will always remain a place to come back to. These pages are a tribute to it.
