Скачать или смотреть Trümmerfrauen: The Rubble Women Who Rebuilt Germany and Were Left Behind

1947, Berlin. We rebuild houses for people who have yet to arrive. No one can tell me where my husband is buried, but they tell me which wall I must carry today.

This video tells the story of a German widow in the ruins of Berlin and the thousands of Trümmerfrauen who cleared bricks and rebuilt cities after World War II.

We cover:

Daily life in bombed-out German cities after 1945
How women did the physical work of reconstruction while men were d**d, missing, or in POW camps
Housing shortages, ration cards, and why many rubble women couldn’t afford the homes they rebuilt
How the image of the Trümmerfrau was later used and mythologized in both East and West Germany
Based on photographs, city records, and women’s testimonies, this is the untold social history of Germany’s postwar reconstruction from the ground up.
