ABSTRACT What is the connection between Jeff Goldfarb and myself that began many years ago when he visited my small town of Sejny in Poland? From the very beginning when we met, the feeling was that we had known one another for a long time because there was a kind of brotherhood. What was behind that encounter? What was the power of this encounter between us? And what happened at the kitchen table that once existed in communist Poland in the 1970s and 1980s when Jeff visited us in our country? What happened to this kitchen table after 1989? Where is it today? Where is this table?
