Photographs I've gleaned from flea markets, junk shops and sometimes ebay. The cheaper the better. Anything with a story that can be extracted from hand written notes, location research, local histories, census records......anything. A small band of fellow enthusiasts worldwide have helped me with many of these. Of course there are always mysteries that defy research, but there's even a story inside these. All images can be viewed at super-size on Flickr.

Great snow! Toboganning on 27th January 1945.
Repeated on the back of all three of these is the date and the words "great snow". Somebody has pointed out that this was the day the Soviet army liberated Auschwitz. There was snow there too, but not so much jollity.
