EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print from 1922 captures the harsh reality of a housing shortage in Germany during that time. In the midst of a slum area, a former largerkeller has been transformed into a makeshift home, with cardboard windows serving as the only barrier between its inhabitants and the outside world.
The image is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by families struggling to find adequate shelter in the aftermath of World War I. Despite their circumstances, this family has managed to create a humble abode where they can care for their young child.
The presence of a baby in this makeshift home adds an extra layer of poignancy to the scene, highlighting the vulnerability of those most affected by housing shortages. It serves as a stark reminder of how events such as economic downturns and political instability can have devastating consequences on ordinary people trying to make ends meet.
Through this historical snapshot, we are given insight into the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by individuals facing adversity. It is both a testament to human perseverance and a call to action to address systemic issues that lead to such dire living conditions.
