Trude Kriessmann - teacher 1937-39

These are photographs from Willi's younger sister Trude's photo album. She labeled them in her own handwriting (which I can't make out). Many are very small, which was the way it was done at that time, then you could select those you wanted to enlarge. My own parents had a lot of these little black/white approximately 1.5x2.5 inch photos in our family scrapbooks.
