It turned out to be her own home. She had lived in it since 1949. She told us that when she first arrived, the beautiful homes the Germans had built stood vacant - pots and pans and furniture left behind. She picked one she liked, moved in and built a new life for herself and her family. Photograph by Charles and Melinda Herman Snell.
