Notes/ Provenance:
Edition 10. Towards the end of the war, the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) was established to handle refugees and displaced persons. With the aid of the American Army, UNRRA Team 182 secured an abandoned cloister, Kloster Indersdorf, near what was then the town of Prien am Chiemsee in Bavaria (near Munich, Germany). Kloster Indersdorf maintained a population of some 350 children from 1945 to 1947. The Photo Archives of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. contain at least 124 unaltered portraits of children from Kloster Indersdorf, initially taken to aid reunification. These images were then digitized and altered in accordance with the artist's intentions.
