Description:
Photograph. French dwellings built into the walls of ancient ruins. Official German caption on photo reverse, translated: "Castles and Caves. All these castles and ruins tell a tale of French history, speak to splendor, power and wealth. But their facades are silent in the face of those social miseries that live like their shadow next to them. A ruin? No, people still live here. The sweat of their ancestors is in the castles. For them, only these caves have survived. France. 22/4/41." France. 22 April 1941
