I knew about Chopin's heart. An old Polish custom--that wherever you die, the
heart goes back to Poland. About 11 or 12 years ago, Ignace Paderewski's heart
finally was sent from the shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown, PA back
to Poland. Some people may think it's grotesque--I find it a moving gesture of
respect for one's origins.
