Mr. Stankiewicz
If perhaps at risk to be overly proper in introduction, please do forgive me for so. My self was in quandary to how best to address you rather of first meeting by proper last name or use of first name Stan.
Not certain, but some what gathered you are from Poland or of immigration parents from Poland. Both are good, for as you are present on the forum that is good.
Pieter has been excellent as well as Jaga in research and presenting various photos and presentations of Poland. I do trust you will find what you are looking for in vested interest of family locations in Poland. For it is a natural requirement of most of us, to know our origens, for withen this, we gain an understanding of our family back ground, our selves and our place upon the earth we stand on.
I am not sure of your location, but surmise possibly you are Polish American, with this, you have the advantage of both worlds. Perhaps in future post, your knowledge and experience will further the common knowledge of events in The USA that to some of us have many questions of.
Karl

Jaga,
How nice to see your old Krakovian environment of the neighborhood where you lived in your Kraków time. So you lived in the North-West of the city. An area with a lot of apartment buildings, boulevards and pre-war and peoples republic stile buildings. Parks and public buildings nearby and not so far away from the old city centre, Planty, Wawel Cathedral, the Wawel Royal Castle and the wonderful Wisła river banks and river itself. Did your neigborhood had a specific name?
It looks like a nice area to live with a lot of space, public transportation and parking space for your car. I like the fact that Polish cities like other larger European countries have larger roads, larger boulevards, squares and thus space. In my country often everyhting is narrow and small. The roads, boulevards and squares. Ik like space. Large wide roads.
Ofcourse the old towns of Polish innercities have narrow streets too, but often these area's are not area's for traffic. Only for pedestrians and destination traffick only (trucks and vans that bring goods and food to restaurants, pubs/café's and shops) I like the build up of the Polish cities I have been too. Kraków, Poznań and Warszaw. Old city centres with the old town with an old Martet as the centre, and around that modern city area's, neighbourhoods and business/commercial area's.
Cheers,
Pieter

Jaga, How nice to see your old Krakovian environment of the neighborhood where you lived in your Kraków time. So you lived in the North-West of the city. Cheers, Pieter Pieter, we lived in a 9-story house built by the Jagiellonian University for their workers. They built it in 1962, at the end of the stree, which later expanded to built dormitories for the universities, so we could see students walking to the Technical University. We were also not far from the town center - 20 min walk and to the famous Blonia, green meadow where Polish pope had its services. Very nice area of town. Ulica Krolewska known as 80th of January due to SOviet liberation of Krakow that day, was a busy stree with many stores and the tram line going to the downtown. |

Dear Jaga, Very nice description of your living condition and time in Kraków. Sounds as a very good place to be settled as a family of Jagiellonian University personel, and being the child of them. I read your description of your youth there with your parents who invited and received a lot of foreign guests in your house, and the fact that there were many nationalities there and foreign languages spoken due to the foreign guests of your parents. It must have been a very nice neighborhood to grow up as a child and teenager. Did you had a kindergarten, Preschool, primary school and high school in your neighborhood? Park im. św. Wincentego á Paulo and Park Krakowski are nearby, Oddział Muzeum Historycznego Miasta Krakowa, Skalski Dance School in Urzędnicza 65 and Szkoła Podstawowa nr 34 im. Obrońców Poczty Polskiej w Gdańsku. Politechnika Krakowska im. Tadeusza Kościuszki, Wydział Fizyki, Matematyki i Informatyki is probably the Technical University you mentioned). To the West of Politechnika Krakowska you have Stadion WKS Wawel. Were you a sport oriented kid and teenager or more a books and reading kind of person? What did you like and miss about Kraków and which aspects didn't you like of the city? Growing up in Kraków, going to school, study at Jagiellonian University (?) and being in university academic circles must be wonderful. I liked the Poznań of the seventies and eighties of my childhood memories, but even liked Kraków better due to it's nice atmosphere, rich diversity in architecture and culture and social cultural dynamism. If I only had walked the streets, boulevards, squares, the parks and the Wisła river banks next to Wawel that would have been enough. Because in Kraków you can enjoy the houses, buildings, the typical Cracovian Courtyards, balconies, chimney's, ornaments inside and outside the buildings, and the old reliefs of walls, inside buildings and of sculptures. Nice decorative palace fences, city trees and plants, observing the people, taking time for long walks and siting at city benches watching the crowd and traffic go buy and see how the people interact there. And very fine people they were and are. My Dutch and German friends and I felt very at home and relaxed in Kraków. (I always advocate Kraków to educated and cultural people in the Netherlands, because these people are interested in Central- and Eastern-European cities and countries) My friends were surprised how polite, gentle and thus how gentlemen- and lady like many Cracovians were. They had a great hospitality towards strangers who were and are welcome to their city. Their humanity, relaxed way of living and open minded mindset makes Kraków a pleasent place to stay. Ofcourse part of that mentality will be the human build up of the city. There must be a large segment of Academic people. The Kraków intelligentsia of Scientists, researchers, research journalists (quality journalism), professors of the universities, teachers of the lyceums and Gymnasia (highschools), architects and engineers, painters, sculpturists, graphical artists, photographers, theatre actors, poets and writers, movie directors and producers, Radio and Television people (like me  ), entrepreneurs, middle class (shop and store owners), civil servants of the local/regional authorities, doctors, dentists, surgeons, politicians and political activists and ofcourse the university students and art academy students. Next to that the Cracovian nurses, shop girls and women (personel of stores and shops), taxi drivers, technicians, skilled professional working class (factory workers), construction workers, real estate agents, dancers, bus and tram drivers, beauticians, fashion models, hair dressers, police officers and firefighters, children, teenagers and yuppies add to the flavor of Cracovian people. What a dynamic city of old and new must Kraków be today. 20 minutes to the city center is not such a long walk. I bet, you used the tram and bus a lot? Jaga, You had a special upbringing in a unique intellectual, academic climate. You were growing up in a cosmopolitan, international climnate of the sciences and the Jagiellonian University. You traveled to other Central- and Eastern-European countries. Maybe due to the connections of your Polish Kraków family and maybe out of your own interest. Despite communism, pollution, lack of food and censorship Kraków must have been an inspiring environment, due to the layers of old architecture, culture, fine art (contemporary art) and ancient art, theatre, dance, Polish cabaret, music ( Polish jazz, Polish Folk, Polish peoples music and Polish classical music), a youth culture with sports, entertainment, nature (parks and the country outside Kraków), swimming pools, the green river banks of the Wisła, the Polish fashion of that time (and making clothes at home), cycling/biking (if you had a bike), going on the tram or bus to destinations in the city and just walking around. You had your social circle there of your brothers and probably cousins there. And your friends from school and the university. You must have had your personal interests and hobbies. Your family life and your study and work (later on). I don't know what you studied there and what subjects interested you in your highschool. Maybe you were already interested in writing about several subjects back then already (like you do on the website of this Forum and in this Forum), and were interested in foreign countries, cultures and peoples (since you visited them. You talked about the DDR -East-Germany, Bulgaria/Rumania and Budapest -if I am not mistaken-. Later you visited many more countries, Lithuania, Brazil, Spain, GB/Scotland and etc. Have you ever been to Russia or Ukraine? Cheers, Pieter |

Stanisław Mucha, ok 1938 Mój Kraków Muzeum Geologiczne Wydziału Geologii AGH   Ulica Floriańska w Krakowie Inwestycje zrealizowane Uniwersytet JagiellońskiNa początku 1989 r. Czesław Miłosz przyjechał do Krakowa, aby odebrać tytuł Doktora Honoris Causa Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. Od tego momentu Poeta odwiedza Kraków coraz częściej i chętniej, w pewnym momencie można było mówić, że mieszka w dwóch miejscach na raz: w Berkeley i Krakowie. Uniwersytet Jagielloński, najstarsza polska uczelnia wyższa, jeden z najstarszych uniwersytetów na świecie, mieszczący się w Krakowie. Pierwszy uniwersytet w Polsce, wzorowany na Uniwersytecie Bolońskim (założonym 1088 r.) jednym z najstarszych i najważniejszych uniwersytetów Zachodniego Świata. Według ogólnoświatowego rankingu opublikowanego przez The Times Higher Education Suplement jest najlepszą uczelnią w Polsce. Jako jedyna uczelnia w kraju, Uniwersytet Jagielloński jest członkiem wielu stowarzyszeń zrzeszających najbardziej prestiżowe uniwersytety świata, m.in. Grupy Coimbra czy Europaeum.  Uniwersytet Jagielloński został założony w roku 1364 w dzielnicy Krakowa zwanej onegdaj Kazimierz. Uczelnia powstała dzięki fundacji Kazimierza III Wielkiego a odnowiona została w 1400 r. przez Władysława II Jagiełłę z fundacji Jadwigi Andegaweńskiej. W 1817 r. nadano mu nazwę Jagielloński, by podkreślić jego związki z tą dynastią. Uniwersytet Jagielloński posiada obecnie cztery odrębne kampusy oraz budynki rozproszone w różnych częściach Krakowa, poza kampusami.Planty To miejsce w Krakowie wyjątkowe, nie sposób spacerować po Krakowie ominąwszy szeroki pas zieleni okalający Stare Miasto. Czesław Miłosz szczególnie upodobał sobie Planty w rejonie ulic Gertrudy i klasztoru oo. dominikanów. Planty powstały na miejscu fortyfikacji otaczających miasto: murów obronnych oraz położonej na ich przedpolu fosy i wałów ziemnych. Był to grząski, zaniedbany teren pełniący rolę śmietniska i rowu na ścieki miasta. W roku 1820 podjęto decyzję o utworzeniu "ogrodów miejskich" na miejscu wyburzonych na początku XIX w. murów (stąd nazwa Planty – od splantowania, czyli wyrównania, uporządkowania terenu. Kierownictwo robót objął znany społecznik ziemianin Florian Straszewski, który w 1830 r. założył fundację z przeznaczeniem na utrzymanie Plant. Najpierw posadzono drzewa, rośliny egzotyczne, założono trawniki, wybudowano nawet pawilon koncertowy, potem w 1880 r. postanowiono o ozdobieniu Plant pomnikami sławnych Polaków. Planty stały się miejscem spotkań i spacerów, a nawet uroczystości narodowych. W latach 80-tych ub. wieku ogród miejski poddano rewitalizacji, upiększono o stylowe lampy, ławki, założono nowe klomby, dosadzono drzewa.Nie raz na jednej z ławeczek siadał Poeta, odpoczywał, dumał, obserwowa.  Poniedziałkowemu (7 marca) posiedzeniu Komisji Głównej Rady Miasta Krakowa przewodniczył Wiceprzewodniczący Komisji Sławomir Pietrzyk..jpg)    Dom Studencki Nawojka, Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Kraków Collegium Zoologicum Uniwersytet Jagielloński Spacerkiem po Krakowie: Collegium Medicum Uniwersytet Jagielloński W Katedrze na Wawelu Uniwersytet Jagielloński oddał hołd swoim Fundatorom    W październiku rusza Polski Ośrodek Naukowy UJ w Londynie |

Halina PoświatowskaHalina Poświatowska (born Helena Myga, May 9, 1935, Częstochowa, Poland – October 11, 1967, Warsaw, Poland) – Polish poet and writer, one of the most important figures in modern Polish literature.  Halina PoswiatowskaShe is famous for her lyrical poetry and for her intellectual and passionate yet unsentimental poetry on the themes of death, love, existence, famous historical personages, especially women, as well as her mordant treatment of life, living, being, bees, cats and the sensual qualities of loving, grieving and desiring.  Halina PoswiatowskaShe died at 32 after a second heart operation to correct a heart defect that limited her mobility and breathing, which she acquired when she fell ill as a child during the World War II German occupation of Poland.  Halina PoswiatowskaHer first heart operation was performed in Philadelphia, US, in 1958, and was successful enough to enable her to live for several more years. Soon afterward she enrolled at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA, where she completed her undergraduate studies in 3 years. Turning down offers of graduate study and financial support in the USA, she returned to Poland where she completed a Master's degree in Philosophy at the Jagellonian University in Kraków.  Halina PoswiatowskaHer works have been collected in the four-volume Dzieła (Works), published by Wydawnictwo Literackie, Kraków, Poland, 1997, of which the first two volumes (several hundred pages) are poems, and the latter two prose and letters, respectively.
