Stanislawow

| My father
was born in a town then called Stanislawow,
which was part of the province of Galicia, which was part of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time. After WWI, the area was part
of Poland for about 20 years, but after WWII it was annexed to the
Soviet Republic of Ukraine. Today, as part of Ukraine, the town is
called Ivano Frankivsk. |
