Peter Schmidt at 4 years old, black & white photograph, November 1935
(photograph provided by Sarah Haffner)
.
Photographed in Germany. A few years later, he and his mother would flee Nazi Germany for England, to be followed shortly thereafter by his step father, Raimund. His siblings were born in England, Oliver in October 1938 and Sarah in February 1940. Peter's mother was Jewish, Raimund was not, a union that was forbidden(considered to be a racial disgrace)in Germany at the time.
.
Sarah has been very supportive of the endeavor to cement Peter's legacy. Many thanks to her for sending this, and several other pictures of him taken throughout his life.
