- Description
- Wienerberger takes a photo of the new apartment building where he lived for part of his stay in Kharkiv while overseeing the retrofitting of a factory. The building appears to be shabbily constructed and is missing all or most of the glass in the windows, several of which are covered with some other material. The photographer states that it also lacked water and lighting while he was there. (Another place where Wienerberger and his family briefly lived in Kharkiv can be seen here: http://vitacollections.ca/HREC-holodomorphotodirectory/3636333/data )
