Shanty town in Upper Silesia, 1932

Image text:

Unemployed miners and their families live in shacks in the shanty towns of the Upper Silesian coal-mining district, because they can no longer pay the rent. In 1932 there were almost 6 million people without work in Germany and on the edges of the large cities the slums were growing.
