It all began in Chrzanow, Poland, in a building in which Napoleon had spent a night. We are guessing the bakery in Poland opened between 1825 and 1841 and last known as Morris Jucker’s Bakery. When two of Morris’ children, Sigmund and Sol — the twins, were ten years old they went to work at the bakery due to a bakers’ strike in 1932 and only the family could work. Everything was truly handmade, for there were no mixers. The dough was placed in a trough, and everything was mixed by hand, developing great arm muscles! The European era of our family bakery ended when Sigmund and Sol were 19 years old, and the family was sent to Nazi concentration camps in 1941.
