- Description
- The photographer takes a picture of a woman and child as they walk away down the sidewalk of a residential neighborhood. The woman appears to be missing a leg and is using crutches. The young girl is carrying a bag, perhaps holding some food or other necessities from a rations distribution center. They appear to be local residents.
This is one of a series of four photos portraying individuals with disabilities that Wienerberger put together in the Red Album with a single caption: “and their victims.” This caption refers back to a previous page with 2 photos of crowded streetcars. Whether the persons he photographed did in fact acquire their injuries from streetcar accidents may be a matter for conjecture. Wienerberger did however emphasize the frequency of such accidents in his memoir Hart auf hart.
