Passover in Berlin, 1946

Sometimes context makes all the difference. These photographs show Passover at home and at the synagogue-- in Berlin, 1946. 

(note: the captions incorrectly say 1945; this of course can't be accurate because the war hadn't ended yet. Fortunately one of the photographs below includes a list of dates, confirming 1946).
