Else Wachenheimer-Moos met de kraamhulp voor een bosrijke achtergrond, en onbekende mensen in vrijetijdsbesteding, mei 1928, Hamburg 1928

This is a page from a photo album with snapshots dating back to May 1928 in Hamburg, Germany, taken by an anonymous photographer. The photograph on the upper left shows Else Wachenheimer-Moos accompanied by a midwife, set against a backdrop of the forest. Wachenheimer-Moos's presence is a testament to the lives of Jewish people in Germany during the Weimar Republic. The image captures a moment of transition, highlighting the experiences of women and the rituals surrounding childbirth. The surrounding photographs of other people in leisure are a counterpoint. During a time when the role of women was both celebrated and confined, these images reflect the struggle for identity and recognition. The emotional complexity of this collection lies in its depiction of everyday life, imbued with a sense of community and social interaction during a period of immense societal change. It serves as a poignant reminder of the personal stories interwoven within the larger historical narrative.
