Backdrop

I mentioned earlier that both my Parents made separate trips to Würzburg shortly after World War II ended. My Mom visited the city because she considered going to medical school there.

The photos I post here are the remaining two snapshots from Mom's trip to Würzburg. The quality of the shots isn't great—it's hard to make out the faces—but the images speak to the condition of the city about one year after the British bombing raids.

Würzburg, Germany, Spring 1946. My Mom's medical-school roommate and Mom stand near an overlook of the city. There is rubble everywhere.
