Karen: I moved to the US with my husband for job opportunity,as many immigrants do. I've learned from this great country and its people that making a difference means taking action ourselves. After experiencing the career thrills of the dot.com boom and bust,and then building a number of successful online brands, I decided to take some time out to explore my family roots & tell a story that will make a difference, one that will reduce hatred. This blog is the beginning."Babcie" is Polish for Grandmothers. (pronounced Bub-chee). This will be the story of my two grandmothers, one I knew in person, one I will get to know. My Babcia, Irena, was killed by the Nazis outside of Warsaw shortly after my mother's birth. My mother was raised by Irena's sister, Alicja prior to her imprisonment in Auschwitz. After the war, Alicja (Ala for short ) and her husband adopted her and emmigrated to Australia. I knew Ala as my Babcia, and discovered the truth about my second Babcia in my late teens. Ala wanted her survival of the holocaust to inspire her relatives and others, to make sure it never happened again. I want to carry out her wishes
