Patricia Polacco: Hello, my name is Patricia Polacco. My name, Polacco, actually means "that Polish man" in Italian. And this name was actually my husband's name, because his family originally immigrated from Poland to Italy. And I took the name because his family, most of them died in concentration camps in World War II. And I've kept his name going, because I think it's important. My maiden name was Barber, shave and a haircut.
