Buschwiller - France - departement du Haut-Rhin - arrondissement de Mulhouse - canton de Huningue.

Buschwiller is a very small and beautiful village not far from the Swiss border. There was a Jewish Community of more than 500 people and a synagogue was built in 1790 but since the beginning of the 20th century the Jewish Community disappeard. In 1970 a "Yeshiva" (Talmud school) was built and it is still there today.
