i found this photo from 1957 in the local thrift store, on the back is a written letter to her mom:
Für Mama. Im schweizer Speisewagen beim schweizerischen Bier (grosse flasche = 0,10 dm) Auch das Essen war gut und sehr billig. Man merkte, dass man in einem Friedensland war. Im Fensterrahmen: Ein bissschen schweizer Landschaft, wenn auch sehr matt. Wer soll auch nicht hinter meiner Person (frei nach Bruno) verblassen?
For mum. in the swiss dining wagon with swiss beer (big bottle = 0,10 dm) The food was good and very cheap. You could feel that you are in a land of peace. In the window frame: A bit of the swiss landscape, but very dull. Who would not (according to Bruno) fade out behind myself?
after my best friend recognized the letter on the back of the photo, i want to search for more of her photos next time, trying to find out more details about this unkown person from a time that even my mom was nearly born yet.

Spännande, det är något med den koncentrerade blicken som gör en mkt nyfiken. Hoppas du lyckas hitta mer av/om henne!
