My mother was born in Zamość 90 years ago and left Poland after the Holocaust and emigrated to Israel. She never returned to visit after the war and never told us about her hometown. I'd like to hear more about Zamosc as it was and as it is today.

It's a superb little city and well worth a visit. Go there, you won't regret the trip at all.

Thanks, Mom started talking about Zamosc just last year with my daughter that our family's roots are very interested her.
My father died a few years ago was born in Proszowice. Does anyone know this city?
