Ken and Linda Osty’s Trip to Poland”
Lee Ann Liscombe introduced “Never Better” Linda Osty, who presented a slide presentation of their trip. They traveled from Kraków in the south, Warsaw in the center, and Gdansk in the north Baltic Sea. They even appeared on Polish television. Everywhere they went they were given free apples because Russia’s Pres. Putin placed an embargo on purchasing produce from Poland as a result of its support of the Ukraine. They also noticed a lot of senior citizens out on the streets selling various goods because they are not provided with pensions. They visited the Kraków ghetto, one of the many ghettos in Poland in which thousands of Jews were killed outright or put to death in one of the many concentrations camps. One of which, Auschwitz, they went through. They toured the oldest salt mine in the world, the Royal Castle in Warsaw, the oldest town in Poland, and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Museum. They visited two English-speaking Rotary clubs on their trip. Linda stated that it was her best vacation ever and invited us to add Poland to our vacation plans.
