Re: [Cz-L] New set of school photos posted

In 1941 I remember going to second grade in a Russian school
which was on the Siebenburger Strasse across from the begining
of the Volksgarten. I wonder if it is the school in question
which the Soviets turned into an elementary school. All I can
really remember is that there was a church next door.
