The Sick Fund Sanatorium in Tuszynek
Title
The Sick Fund Sanatorium in Tuszynek
Description
The first home for children endangered by tuberculosis was set up in Tuszynek in 1927. The home boasted six sleeping wards and a large dining area (pictured here). In the photo, several dozen girls being treated at the facility sit around a large white table on which tin mugs have been distributed. Most of the girls are wearing gym clothes, although some possess complete outfits. Three governesses and two female doctors supervise the girls.
