Passing the residence of Polish Roman Catholic Primate Archbishop Jozef Glemp, the marchers paused, hoping that the church leader might appear, then sang a hymn beginning "Return us our free fatherland." Finally, farther along their route, they encountered opposition: massed militia units with dozens of vehicles armed with water cannons. There was no clash. The protesters turned away, hurling insults at the militia ("Gestapo," "Whom do you serve?") as they walked toward the Vistula River. There the march broke up.

Kate is not short for Katherine but an alteration of Kaila, the name her Polish-Jewish parents gave her when she was born in Warsaw nearly 70 years ago. Simon took her first trip at age four, in steerage, aboard the Susquehanna, bound for New York City. There she grew up in neighborhoods where English had many accents...
