"The San Francisco-Krakow relationship is helping to foster business, civic and cultural links between the two cities. I am pleased that the beautiful, innovative, and destination cities of Krakow and San Francisco are now sister cities,” said Mayor Newsom.
“The business and cultural opportunities generated by both sister cities are too many to count,” said Consul Tad Taube, who immigrated to the United States from Krakow on the eve of World War II. “The economic and cultural revival that has taken place in Poland over the last 20 years is incredible, and San Francisco is now well positioned to take full advantage of it.”
