TitleMarch to Work
Creator Adalbert Feher (photographer)
DescriptionBlack and white photograph. In the foreground stands a snow barricade built by conscripts of the 108/57 Hungarian Labour Service to prevent snow from drifting onto the road. In the background, the company are marching with shovels in hand, either to work, as is suggested by typed, red text in the centre right of the picture which states: 'March to work'. Alternatively, the company might be returning from work back to camp. This is more likely given the direction the men are walking. This photograph is from a collection of photographs donated to the museum by Dr. Adalbert Feher who was the physician of the Hungarian Labour Service in Company 108/57. Dr. Feher took the photographs between 1941- 1942 to document the life and routine of the Hungarian Labour Service at this time.
