you totally unprepared with life in an actual capitalist country like America?
I was unprepared but got a grip quickly coz I am intelligent and hard working. Ha!!! Besides, I spoke English which wasn`t so widespread among Poles at the time. HA!
completely alien to the Polish community in New York
I lived in Greenpoint, indeed, but didn`t contact local Polonia coz I was too busy studying, working and saving money for my own apartment in Poland. Ha!
Polish roots from the Second Republic
You mean those notorious antisemites from pre-war times, Dmowski epigones?? Then it is good I didn`t contact them. hahahaha
