Hanna Hamburger, age 16, dressed for a cooking lesson while at boarding school in Bavaria. The school was strictly for Jewish girls, and they were taught cooking, sewing, cleaning, and languages, including Hebrew, Spanish, French, and English. Hamburger was unable to go to the regular German school because she was Jewish.
