sisters in the snow

Every picture tells a story, season 3, picture 7:

We saw Frieda the pianist and her three daughters in a family portrait at the tail end of season 1, but due to the large age gap between the second and the third (almost ten years), there aren't all that many photos of them growing up together. Here they are enjoying the snow in Idar-Oberstein in the winter of 1941/42, in different pairings.

Little sister and middle sister (no idea who the boys are):

ditto, minus the boys and the snowman:

Little sister and big sister

And from the same photoshoot, little sister on her own.

The family lived in a flat at Friedrich-Ebert-Ring 18 in Idar-Oberstein. Although I have revisited the town recently, I didn't quite make it to that address, and I'm not sure if the houses visible in the photos are near to it.

Should anybody have any answers to some of the many questions I am raising in this series, please leave a comment here (I'll need to vet it, so it may take a few days before it goes public) or contact me at michaelgrr [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk
