My Mom-mom’s grandmother brought a prayer book written in Polish with her to America from Poland.  This prayer book is falling apart, the pages are brown and dog-eared, and the spine has fallen off completely. The pages are interspersed with prayer cards and even several funeral memorial cards.  Along with the prayer book is a metal crucifix that she also brought from Poland. These are the only things they brought with them from Poland. These artifacts are important to our family heritage because it shows how my great-great-grandparents immigrated to America with nothing but their faith and trust in God.
