A Different Location

This group of Displaced Persons lived in Lübeck, a camp that housed none of my relatives. Like people in other camps, the folks pictured here seem relaxed and engaged in normal activities, despite the post-war atmosphere.

The photo even features two fellows—one less earnest than the other—pulling up the timeless bunny ears gesture.

Lübeck, Germany, about 1946. Toronto Al's Dad Vladas—the handsome guy lying down—joins his fellow friends, also Displaced Persons, for a snapshot. The group in this photo also looks like it is ready for an American-style fashion shoot.

Thanks to my Toronto Cousin for making this photo available to us.
