[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Teachers in Volhynia

[Mauricio Norenberg]

Thank you very much everyone for the translation.

It's impressive how easy you can read something so hard to figure out for
me. I wonder if is there's any guide to learn Gothic German.

Anyone have any thoughts about school records in Volhynia?

Kind regards

Mauricio
