Description: Autobiography written by Thaddeus Hoinko, a Polish immigrant to the United States. His detailed writings include sections on the history of Poland, his early education, nobility, the Russian State, his work for the Polish Consulate and his extensive travels during the Second World War.

Note
Hoinko was a Polish diplomat active in Polish American organizations after he came to the United States. He was born in Ukraine, lived in Poland, and in 1922 came to America as an official of the First Polish Consulate. Through his position, he became familiar with Polish Americans in major U.S. cities. He was hired by the American Polish Chamber of Commerce (New York, NY) and became a U.S. citizen in 1938. He wrote the column "Polonica Americas" for the organization's magazine Poland. In 1941, he became executive secretary of the Polish-American War Relief Society, later renamed Polish War Relief; and in 1944 he was appointed to the Polish Information Center in New York. From 1945 to 1964, he worked for Opportunity magazine in Chicago, IL.
