Adorable! Young Charlotte Elizabeth (Pulst) Carroll on her first day at school in Blankenburg (Harz) Germany in the 1930s.

My parents were raised in Germany. She is holding a paper cone full of treats (toys and snacks) that each child is given on the first day of school. I have pictures of my father (born in 1932) with exactly such a cone.

I hope she survived without too much trauma! Bittersweet isn't it?

My mother in the photo, escaped East Germany with her sister. Her mother was caught and so was their guide. Her sister (Berta Elfriede Lehmann) remained in West Germany. My mother immigrated to the US by a farm program and worked to pay her way here in Waterloo,IA. My Grandmother was behind the iron curtain until the fall of the Berlin Wall. My Aunt married a man who was in a Russian Prison camp for many years.A wonderful man who was physically scarred but never lost his sense of humor!

I wonder what became of her and her family. Did they survive the war?
via Facebook
She died in 1976(age 49) from aneurysm. So I guess she did survive. Thank goodness.

She was teaching a junior high school class about her life in Germany during the war. She looked to the door while speaking and had a look of amazement on her face- she called out , " My Father" in German and fell to the floor. Her father had died during the war.....

Her father came to take her home. That's nice. Bless her soul.

According to the website that they gave here to check out, she died in 1976 of an Aneurism! Sad!

Your Genealogy is so interesting. We all (I am certain) would love to hear your entire story! It would be wonderful if you published your History/Genealogy!!
via Facebook
Thankyou for your kind words! I am working on my Genealogy but am running into a lot of problems with finding my family records in Germany.
via Facebook
You might be able to get help with that if you contact the right people (don't ask me who). I really see a big interest in your search that the general public could relate to. This picture is amazing by the way!! I am pretty lucky in that most of my ancestors came from England or Scotland; making most easy to trace.

Judy the biggest problem you would encounter for the information of your family in Germany is that the average german doesn't speak english very much 'cause their not obliged too learn this. However there are a view people that does speak english you just have to get lucky to get a english speaking german

I agree w/so many of you, I look at that beautiful innocent face of a child who is eagerly anticipating the start of a whole new world ahead of her, and realize the world she knows at the time of the picture will not be the world in which she'll actually live.

First day of School with "Zuckertuete" in front of house door (were she lived, most likely Appartment building in a city) I have a pic much like this of myself. But it was my Mom that fled from East Germany, my Grandma I never met 'cause she didn't make it out and died there. I was the one that went to America. But my Kids each did get a "Zuckertuete" from me and my Mom on their 1st schoolday! :) Carry on German tradition ...

Not all Germans were Nazis Mr.Fitzgerald ,anymore than all Fitzgeralds were drunken Irishmen LOL!

What a rude, ignorant comment Patrick Fitzgerald! I could tell u stories that may want to make you think twice about your comment but that would probably be a waste of my time and energy !

I love researching genealogy.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
