pszczyna, poland.

the train station, forever etched in my earliest memories. the town square, the palace and park. and at the bottom, the legacy of world war ii and the decades of ruinous communist rule. in the cemetary, the grave of my grandfather, nearby the graves of the germans who lived in this town, and the russians soldiers who liberated it marking the beginning of the darkest times in polish history. the grafitti on the russian monument says "get lost"...
