Before Wroclaw, there was Breslau
REGARDING “Island Hopping in Eastern Europe,” [Postcard From Poland, Sept. 11], author Tom Parkinson appears to be either oblivious or unknowing about the fact that the city of Wroclaw was the German city of Breslau until the end of World War II.
At that time, this part of eastern Germany was turned over to Poland in exchange for a part of Poland that was annexed by Russia.
Breslau has been German for centuries and generations, and thus the architecture mentioned so prominently in the article is definitely German in origin.
Take it from someone born in Breslau.
