Exploring grocery stores can be one of the traveling’s greatest everyday pleasures. In Poland most of its cities and towns offer three options for food shopping: the traditional open-air or covered market, the small Mom-and-Pop store, and the modern supermarket. The first one is worth visiting for the atmosphere alone, its rich sights, smells and sounds.
Poles still like shopping there even though regular stores abound with a wide variety of products. Markets offer fresh and cheap vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and other food, especially in the morning. And buying from the stalls almost invariably requires some mastery of Polish. Therefore, look at the words and phrases below. They might be helpful when you are out shopping.

W małej, świętokrzyskiej miejscowości o dźwięcznej nazwie Tokarnia, znajduje się skansen domów mieszkalnych z przełomu osiemnastego i dziewiętnastego wieku, który jest niemym świadkiem minionych dni, nie zawsze pomyślnych dla losu Polaka.
W tym skansenie, obok siebie znajdują się domy bogatych ludzi, których może mniej dotykały problemy związane z biedą i dręczącym ich niedostatkiem, a także są tam ubogie, wiejskie chaty, których mieszkańcy często nie mieli na przysłowiowy czarny chleb. W miejscu tym, mimo że już nikt nie mieszka na każdym kroku zauważana jest nasza polska kultura, dzięki której nasza skąpana w polskiej krwi ojczyzna powróciła w początkach dwudziestego stulecia na mapę świata jako wolny kraj.
Z głębokim smutkiem i żalem zawiadamiamy, iż 12 maja zmarła w wieku 98 lat Pani Irena Sendler – wybitna działaczka społeczna, która w czasie II wojny światowej uratowała ponad 2.5 tysiąca żydowskich dzieci. To właśnie o niej mówi się, że „nie tylko ocaliła żydowskie dzieci, ale też uratowała duszę Europy”.
W czasie wojny Pani Sendler zaangażowała się w pomoc mieszkańcom Warszawskiego Getta. Gdy w 1942 roku rozpoczęła się jego likwidacja, Irena Sendler zainicjowała szeroko zakrojoną akcję ratowania dzieci, które wyprowadzane z getta, były umieszczane w polskich rodzinach, sierocińcach i klasztorach w Warszawie, Turkowicach i Chotomowie. Dzieciom przygotowywano fałszywe dokumenty i wspomagano je materialnie. W 1965 roku Instytut Yad Vashem w Jerozolimie przyznał Irenie Sendler tytuł Sprawiedliwego wśród Narodów Świata, a w 1991 roku otrzymała ona honorowe obywatelstwo Izraela.
