Standing in front of a doorway, a woman holds a container while a Red Cross worker ladles soup into another container from a big pot. Taken in Germany? In the early 1950s? An MCC Food relief project? Written on back of photo by someone in Europe, the # 1182.
Note attached to photo: "These children at last for once (endlich einmal) have the chance to have enough to eat (satt essen) - the most wonderful, sweet oatmeal porridge, such a rarity! at home they never get this. These children know from their parents and teachers, that people in the USA are ready to help them and do much good for them." A young woman, a Red Cross worker & an older boy, smile as a boy eats his porridge. Many other children are seated at the tables as well. Taken in Germany?
Note with photo: "First symptoms of malnutrition… The physical state of this little girl, too, gives sad evidence of post-war hardships." Mr. Kreider is written on back of photo. Possibly Robert Kreider, MCC Germany 1946-1948, was the donor.
