Busko-Zdrój

A day visit to Busko-Zdrój, the town north of Kraków where Bronia Horn of Rohatyn (aunt to Marla's grandmother) taught German language and literature at a secondary school from 1932 to 1936. We are visiting at the invitation of the current school's teachers and students, who give us a warm welcome! Then we have an interesting discussion with the senior English language class, and a tour of the school and the town.
