The story behind the image
Here’s yet another image from the family archive. It shows my grandmother Edith Schweim (born Gehring) with a stroller in front of Schloß Eutin in Germany. While we can’t see who is actually in the stroller, I guess it’s my mother, as the image appears in the year 1942 along with images showing her during the first weeks of her life. On this day they were probably visiting the grandparents of my grandfather who lived close to Eutin.
Edith looks quite stiff in this photo and not happy at all. It almost looks like a test shot. Or the preparation took too long. However, from that same day there is another image that actually shows the joy that – despite the raging wartimes – her pregnancy and birth with her second child went so well.
