  ** translation of describtion ** Repatriates. Woman and child with buckets are passing baracks at residence De Schattenberg near Assen, where laundry is hanging to dry. This picture was made during an excursion for the media/press to residences of repatriates in Drenthe and Gelderland. Peculiar note on the backside of the picture: " The baracks at de Schattenberg are situated in the middle of the Moorland in Drenthe and the resident do not have any shortage of nature around them." Holland, Assen, 1950

  Het voormalig doorgangskamp Westerbork werd na de oorlog het opvangkamp voor de Molukse KNIL-militairen, de Schattenberg.

  "helps her husband" do you mean ... works along side her husband in the field, does all the house work and child care alone and still finds time to hand stitch 48 hand embroidered blocks together? astounding! and still we don't know her name, just the name of her husband.
