A 23: Photo/postcard size/portrait /black and white/ Isenthal

After the school I worked the winter of 1944-45 at an altitude of 1600 metres as a farm labourer. My wages: thirty francs a month. I sent the money home. Because I couldn't find any work in Isenthal, I went in the autumn of 1945 to Altdorf. I worked there as an assistant in a bakery. My wages: eighty francs a month.
