SPIEGEL reader Gottfried Jung came across a photo of his mother from the post-war period. She was a Danube Swabian and came from Banat in the former Yugoslavia.
At the age of 23, she was already a widow and a single mother to a then three-year-old daughter. A photographer was sitting on a train and was so fascinated by the scene of people working in the fields that he got out at the next station, ran back and took the photo.
