The Czechoslovak government invited 200 Korean children into Czechoslovakia, and they were then placed at the Houštka baths near the town of Stará Boleslav. Among the children there were even partisan fighters with awards for bravery. For this photo, plan on an hour of teaching time.
On the board: We are in Czechoslovakia. We have our second home here. We stay in Stará Boleslav. We like going to school. We learn dilligently. We remember our motherland.
