ZMIDEK FAMILY

DISCOVERING OUR ROOTS

In September, 2019, descendants of four of Sura Gitel and David Zmidek's children visited Poland on a mission to find out more about our great-grandparents, the village they came from and what happened to family members who chose to remain in Poland. All the photos in this album were taken in Auschwitz, Chmielnik, Krakov, Lodz and Warsaw.

Photographers: Steve Smith, Gabrielle Pinto Pollecoff, Thomas and Sue Massey.
