A Deep Dive into Ancestral History
In a labor of love and dedication, George Israel Gorodeski embarked on a five-year exploration into the history of their ancestral roots, uncovering stories of perseverance, courage, and the human spirit. The book stems from the belief that understanding our family’s history provides a unique perspective on navigating the complexities of life. The author’s extensive research traverses seven ancestral generations, all of whom called Lesser Poland home during the tumultuous 18th to 20th centuries.
From Peaceful Aspirations to Unwavering Resilience
