I love Class Photos. They give the viewer a glance of the times. My mother is in this one and I would think this is taken between 1947-1948. She would be 6 to 7 years old if this is the case. I believe the family was living in Bernburg, Germany at the time, however I might be incorrect. The hair styles are very similar. 2 children are smiling. My mother is the child in the middle in the third row with the white collar. Surely she would not get mad if she should see this?

One of the earliest photos I have of my Grandmother is this one. This is taken about 1926-1927. Taken in Berlin. I can barely see her. She is sitting in the cart. I do love this picture. She had written a story of finding a horseshoe when she was a child. Or rather how when they were children, anyone who found a horseshoe had infinite luck. I have it scanned and in her own handwriting. I wish she had written more of her stories. She was one who could tell a tale that held my attention for sure.
