Kuhn Couple Create Artful Life After Nazi Era in Kennebunk
Paul and Gertrude Kuhn, Berlin-born artists now living in Kennebunk, run a Lower Village craft shop. They fled Germany in 1936 after the mixed marriage law and Auschwitz losses, later establishing studios in Capetown and Boston before settling on the New England coast. Their shop features paintings, embroidery, bookbinding, jewelry, and limited gouache facsimiles, with prices kept competitive and a welcoming, chatty atmosphere. Their children Ana and John pursued art and service, while Paul, a former apprentice turned master craftsman, continues to produce intricate bindings and designs.

Bulgaria backs Kremlin line over Czechoslovakia drive
In Sofia, officials praised Prague liberalization while endorsing a harsh home line against sympathizers with the counterrevolution. The stance alienates Bulgaria from Romania and Yugoslavia, with public mood largely indifferent though educated Bulgarians show concern through Western media access. A Western ambassador notes no ferment and the party remains firm in its position.
