Preserving the Remnants of European Life
These portraits of Luxembourgians were captured from negatives that Goetz inserted into his diary with the note: “These pictures are of the people whose house we occupied in Beyren. They weren’t at home.”
Current residents of the Luxembourg village of Beyren* have identified the subjects of these photographs as follows:
Row 1 (left to right): Mrs. Catherine Gondringer, unidentified woman, Mr. Nicholas Gondringer
Row 2 (left to right): Mrs. Suzanne Gondringer-Schummer, Mrs. Mathilde Kinn-Seyler, Marcel Gondringer
Row 3 (left to right): Mr. Antoine Gondringer, Mrs. Catherine Kinn, unidentified woman
Four of these people lived in Beyren while the others lived in the neighboring village of Gostingen.
