- Title:
- Travelling Light: Poles on Foreign Soil
- Description:
- Travelling Light recounts the lived history of five Polish individuals and their resettlement to London after the Second World War. Each writer shares their experience adjusting to a new country, language, and culture. The authors further recount what it is like to leave behind everything they knew and loved to escape the violence and terror spreading throughout their home country. Extracted from oral interviews, the stories are authentic to the people who wrote them. Digital photographs are included that strengthen the story. A continuation of Passport to Exile, this book’s focus is the adjustment to a new country. It is part of the Ethnic Communities Oral History Project that set out to document the lives of different immigrant groups in England.
