Just received the Polish translation of The Family with Two Front Doors and when I put the Polish title – Dwoje drzwi i dziewięcioro dzieci  – into Google translate, it tells me the words mean Two doors and nine children.

Not a bad title!

The Polish translation is supposed to be coming out in April. That will be a dream come true for me as this will be a way for Polish children, and their parents and teachers, to learn and understand something about the Jewish people who made up 30% of the Polish population before the Holocaust.
