> Wroc?aw is a city of about 700,000 inhabitants in south-western Poland. 
> Until 1945 it was known by its German name of Breslau. Since the Middle 
> Ages, it has been a melting pot of Poles, Germans, Czechs and Jews, as 
> wonderfully described by the British historian Norman Davies in his book 
> ?Microcosm - Portrait of a Central European City?. It is the city where I 
> was born and where my sister still lives. Tuesday was her birthday, so my 
> wife and I went there for a few days, taking advantage of the direct 
> Ryanair flight from Alicante. The city is changing rapidly, it is one of 
> the booming parts of the New Europe. But there are still many reminders of 
> the Communist past and indeed of the German past before that. I used to
