This photo is another view of the Old Folks home. "Kuruschan". The residents of this home who were poor, were supported by their home villages. The last "house father", Rev F Willms, from Tiegenhagen, was arrested during one night in 1925 and was shot together with four other Mennonite men. The limbs of the five persons were later found in a gravel pit between Halbstadt and Petershagen. [HR 122] (2 prints)
