Zofiówka Sanatorium is a defunct mental health facility in the town of Otwock in Poland, built at the beginning of the 20th century. In the Second Polish Republic, the sanatorium complex was expanded with more buildings and staff. Zofiówka initially had 95 beds, but this number had increased to 275 by 1935. The Jewish history of Zofiówka has come to its tragic end in the course of the Holocaust following the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany.
Construction
The history of the old Jewish sanatorium starts at the beginning of the 20th century. Back then, the institutionalized treatment of mental disorders was in its infancy. In 1906, Polish-Jewish neurologists Adam Wizel, Samuel Goldflam, Ludwik Bregman and Adolf Weisblat formed the "Society for Poor Jews with Nervous and Mental Illnesses" (Polish: Towarzystwo Opieki nad Ubogimi, Nerwowo i Umysłowo Chorymi Żydami). The sanatorium's director was Dr. Stefan Miller.A year later, a donation by the philanthropist Sophia Endelman enabled the purchase of 17 hectares of land and in 1908 the first building of a new sanatorium was built by the association there. An important part of the treatment was restoring patients to society by enabling them to practice employment. In its isolation ward (part of the hospital reserved for the most difficult patients), the mother of famous Polish poet, Julian Tuwim, Adela Tuwim was placed before World War II.
Holocaust history
In late 1940, the asylum fell within the so-called ‘medical zone’ formed by the Germans in the newly established Jewish ghetto of Otwock. The institution was still working during the early stages of the occupation of Poland, but the conditions dramatically worsened. Almost 400 patients were sentenced to a slow and torturous death by starvation as part of the Nazi extermination Aktionen. Zofiówka ended its existence at the same time as ghetto in Otwock.
On the morning of 19 August 1942, the Ukrainian Trawnikis supervised by the Germans, gathered the patients and the hospital crew in the first pavilion. Some 100-140 victims were shot on the spot, the rest were put on the Holocaust train to Treblinka along with Otwock’s Jewish population of 7,000.[2] Only a few doctors, who managed to escape to Warsaw by ambulance, survived. Some of the staff people committed suicide. In 1943 Zofiówka served Germans as Lebensborn, the institution of charity care. The facility also dealt with the Germanization of Polish children, and bringing them up for adoption to families in Germany.
After World War II
Zofiówka returned to its original medical purposes after the Soviet takeover, but patients were mainly children and young people. Between 1985 and mid 90’s, the facility was used in treating neuropsychiatric disorders associated with drug addiction. This continued on until the decision was made to finally close it.
In 2015, the Internet viral video called 11B-X-1371 was found to have been filmed at the abandoned facility, though by whom and when, exactly, are not known.

This WB replica (sort of) of the original Whataburger located in the parking lot of the Whataburger at 4126 S Staples St, Corpus Christi, TX 78411. The first WB was started by Harmon Dobson located on Ayers street in Corpus Christi Texas. Back in those days a burger was 35 cents and a milk shake was 15 cents.

On the way back from visiting the quiet Forth Road Bridge a few weekends ago, I stopped off at Loch Gelly (the loch, not the town - I feel like I have to make that distinction, even though it should be obvious from the photo content). The sun had set but there was still enough light in the sky to allow this photo to work.
I guess I could have gone for a long exposure but I wanted the turbines to look crisp. I also took loads of photos in the hope of capturing the turbines in a certain way. There's no overlap between any of the blades and the positions they lie in are as similar as possible. Does anyone else bother going to these levels of effort for something that no-one would notice unless it's pointed out?

Coming over Elm Bridge at Kingfield, I saw Arriva Kent & Surrey 3758 (YJ08 DZH) come to the bottom of Claremont Avenue and turn right.
This is particularly unusual as no buses are scheduled to make that turn.
It turned out it was on the 35 but had gone down the 34 route by accident.
I thought it would be interesting to see where it went next (no, I wasn't driving!) given it had managed to make it quite a long way off route (not just missing the turn onto York Road, but then turning off the main Guildford Road into Claremont Avenue), and see where it went back on. The driver went all the way back to re-trace his steps. Credit to them for doing so, as when it turned back onto normal route there was someone waiting for it at the first stop on York Road.
Seen here on Wych Hill Lane.
