This novel, The Polski Affair, confirms the existence and location of the Hotel Polski, however, the characters, the dialogue and the situations contained herein are fictitious, but have as their basis the research and the narratives contained in Mr. Shulman’s book.

I must now fast-forward some twenty five years and express my thanks, to my editor, Laura Orsini for her page by page devotion to the work. I am grateful to have found her, to have learned from her, and to have the opportunity to praise her and acknowledge her contribution to the finished product.

DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to my beloved wife, Gloria, who was the first one to read it in its very rough and primitive form. When she said to me, “You tell one helluva story”, I know that no matter how long it would take, I would find an editor, I would find a publisher, and the story would be told. I thank her for her faith, her patience, and her encouragement.
