For more than 30 years, Polish immigrant Victoria (Vicky) Lisiecki Pustz collected snapshots and photographs of her loved ones and assembled them in a family album. It chronicled the lives of not only her parents and siblings but also her husband and her children. With images from the 1920s to the late 1950s, it provides a glimpse of life during some of our country’s most turbulent times – the
Great Depression and World War II. It also shows how a multi-generational family straddles both country life in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and city life in the Chicago
area. More importantly though, it chronicles the special moments of her life and her family – weddings, babies, sending men off to war, graduations, and the celebrations of simply enjoying time spent together.
