Label TextJadwiga Liszewski brought this table runner with her from Poland to Canada in 1966. She had received it as a gift. Jadwiga emigrated with her husband, Zenon, and their two children. Zenon’s sister had sponsored the family, as a 1962 Order-in-Council allowed. The Liszewski family joined London’s substantial Polish community, which had been growing since the early 20th century. Although challenging, the Liszewski’s adjusted to their new city and culture.
