These photographs, captured in July 1928 in either Hamburg or Nuremberg by an anonymous photographer, offer a glimpse into the lives of Willy Moos and his sister, Else Wachenheimer-Moos. In the photograph on the left, Else and Willy are captured indoors. While the photograph on the right, shows Willy posing outside what appears to be a middle class family home. These images evoke a sense of bourgeois normalcy, yet they are imbued with a haunting awareness, knowing that their lives would be irrevocably altered by the rise of Nazism in the years to come. These photographs serve as a poignant reminder of the fragility of identity and belonging in the face of political upheaval. What did it feel like to look back at these images as the world changed around them? These photographs capture a moment of peace before the storm.
