Trummerkind

 
 

These are the only six photographs that we took. We have hundreds of hours of video.


The post-WWII term Trummerkind - German  for "children of the ruins" -  connotes the children of war-torn areas who had lost their families and/or homes, and were left to grow up in a society that required rebuilding and healing.  They made their homes in the ally-bombed ruins of cities and towns and lived off the landscapes.
