and 1937

Nice video Helena, I lived in Lublin in UL Marii Sklodowskiej-Curie off UL Lipowa, for four years and it was a great City, one of the best kept secrets in Poland.

It was strange to see the Jewish quarter down by the castle which was totally destroyed by the Germans in world war ll, now there is just an empty field with a bit of concrete here and there........ sad really.

Hiya!

I've spent a lot of time there as my father was born there and we went back and met his old friends and made new friends.

My friend Maria Parakowska lived on the corner of Lipowa and Krak. Przed. next to the park. At least, I think it was Lipowa. I wish I could find her again, she has moved.

You are correct but there are English schools there with shops and unfortunately a KFC, opposite Saski Park

I have heard that the Polish Course at the catholic Uni in Lublin is as good as that ran at the jagiellonian but about half the price.

Anyone know much about the school and/or course?

Yes I heard about that KJC. God forbid (I wish he would!)
The view from what was her first floor window overlooks that KFC.

I once booked myself onto that course and got 6 weeks off work to attend it (unpaid leave, I hasten to add!)

However, in the event my mates in Lublin said save your money, just hang around with us for six weeks, so I did.
