Men in worn work clothes crowd around a large steaming field kettle while a policeman supervises the distribution of soup. Such charity meals were a common sight on Berlin's streets in the early 1930s, as the Great Depression pushed millions of Germans into unemployment. Welfare organizations and municipal institutions tried to ease the growing hardship with simple meals. The presence of police points to the tense social climate of those years, when hunger and political radicalization went hand in hand.
