My Dear Family and Friends, 

I am in Zurich, Switzerland where, for the first time, I have met my cousin Michal Svoboda and his family.  

Now I am one step closer to achieving a personal family goal.  I want to meet all my Poláček - Polatschek cousins.  There are more than one hundred of us and we live in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Here I am in Zurich.  At the cemetery. 

Why did I make a pilgrimage to a cemetery to stand at the grave of Elias Canetti?
