Also Danuta were a Polish Jew born in Poland at the very end of WW2. Just the right person to be swinging the handbag 👜

38? Not 58?

Nope, apparently she was 38 at the time https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woman_with_the_Handbag

Huh, at 40 myself I am kinda surprised. I guess people aged different back then?

Her mother was an Auschwitz survivor and she herself was born right after the war. She might well have grown up hungry because of this, and malnutrition can prematurely age a person.

No, they wore different clothes, nothing more. ;) We also look ancient for young people.

What a hero

She was a hero, and it's heartbreaking how much this picture negatively affected her life.

Danuta förtjänade bättre.
Tönten med flaggan förtjänade mycket värre.
