Collage of my story

My great great grandfather is named Kazmerz Polaski and he is from Austria. He lived in a town that was right next to Poland. And the town has a Polish culture. For a better life, he came to America through Ellis Island. Then he settled in Massachusetts, married his wife Barbara and had three children. I wasn’t alive to meet my great great grandfather but I was alive to meet my great grandmother. Whenever I went to her house she always had Polish things to show me. She would make me Polish food and always give us her wooden Polish eggs. That’s why I decided to make a collage about Kazmerz.

Place(s): Austria, Poland, Ellis Island
