This anonymous black and white photograph, taken in 1929, depicts a young child in a playpen. The child is looking upwards, suggesting a moment of wonder or curiosity. The playpen, with its simple wooden construction, was a common feature in homes during this era, serving as a safe and contained space for infants and toddlers. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily life of a child during the 1920s, capturing a moment of innocence and play.
Comments
In 1928 a daughter, Isabel, was born to Eugen and Else Wachenheimer. In 1934 they posed before the family home in Stuttgart on Isabel’s first day of school. The photograph at the lower right was taken almost ten years later (1943) in the Westerbork transit camp. Isabel had been rounded up in Amsterdam five months earlier. The family was first sent to Theresienstadt and then on to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where Eugen and Else were gassed. Isabel was condemned to forced labour.
