A photo album featuring the exploits of a German family living in Germany circa the 1930s. The album begins with an inscription in the front which reads, “To the memory of your brother Kurt.” The photographs are of large dinner parties during family occasions one of which is a wedding with a large picture of the family around the bride and groom. Christmas shows the family grouped together sitting at the dining room table and smiling. There are single pictures of each family member and smaller groups together at the table, around the tree, and out the house in the snow. There are also pictures of the family visiting a city together during a small festival where a large parade is walking down the streets. They also took pictures of churches, different stores, and overhead shots of the town. There are a couple posed pictures of the women wearing fancy clothing around the home and in the city. Some of the photos are from the summer time when the family is visiting a lake with friends. In the later section of the photo album there are photographs of the men working together on a farm and with others to build a bridge and several houses. There are pictures of them carrying supplies and laying pieces of wood into place, all smiling while working. Lastly, there are also pictures of ships out in the ocean and pictures from someone on one of the ships themselves.
