Many of my family members immigrated from Poland.  There were several policies that limited immigration for people who were not from Western Europe.
Thats interesting. My ancestors were from Ireland for the most part. Tell me about your Polish heritage.
My paternal grandparents were from there.  There are over 10 million Polish Americans in the United States.
I was not aware of that. How did they choose America apart from other countries?
They chose to come here because of the Nazi invasion on September 1st, 1939.  They saw several family members head off to what is now know as concentration camps.
Thats sad to hear. The Nazies tried to take over everything, one country at a time.
Yes, it is.  There is still much today about the validity of what happened, but most historians believe that both positions have merit.
