The Polish - American

The author came to United States for the first time in 1943. He was then ten years old. A US Navy ship brought him to San Diego California straight from a concentration camp. Unfortunately the United States government did not let him remain. So he went to Mexico where he lived in a refugee camp for five years. When the camp was terminated he was compelled to struggle. In order to survive he held many jobs. At fifteen he worked as a roofer a logger and a sawmill helper neglecting his formal education because of lack of time and opportunity. He immigrated to USA in 1951. This time he was allowed to stay. Here because of his Polish origin he suffered rejection degradation and discrimination. Here for the first time in his life he was called a Dumb Polak and a White Nigger. Here he was subjected to the so-called offensive Polish jokes. This plus discrimination rejection and degradation made his life a never-ending torment a hell on earth! This autobiography was written in the form of a novel and it is a continuation of author's first book: <I>A Journey Into Exile</I>-the first part of his life.
