“Poles in the New World”

pact

Ed Zawadzki is passionate about his Polish heritage and he’s not afraid to tell everyone he meets.  Ed spoke of the many historical accomplishments of the Polish people in his recent visit to Toledo from the Hussars, the best cavalry unit in Europe, even the entire world to middleweight boxing champion, Tony Zale.  He spoke at the Toledo Polish Genealogy Society, and the Kielbasa Dinner and Heritage Presentation sponsored by the Polish American Community of Toledo. He also made a visit to Zavotski’s Meats and Deli for a book signing. His love of his Polish ancestry was evident as he talked about his parents struggles in nazi work camps during World War II.  Everyone loved his presentation but were really enamored with Wanda Zawadzki, his 92 year old mother who accompanied him and was his inspiration for writing his book, “Poles in the New World”. Ed’s book highlights 50 famous, and some infamous, Polish immigrants who made their homes in North America.  If you didn’t get to see Ed’s presentation, do not despair; Ed is planning another visit to Toledo next summer.  To order his book, go to http://www.polesworld.com.
