Janna Bathoorn - Bathorner Torfshake and Bookweeten Janhinnerk

Janna Bathoorn went to the Emsland region in Germany in search of the origins of her family name. She discovered that her first name also has its roots in that area. All the men in her family, and indirectly she herself, have first names derived from the word for the local pancake. In addition to milkshakes, pancakes and merriment, the hamlet of Bathorn also has a more sombre side.
