Beside a long wooden hut with small windows and a ladder leaning against its wall, young men in caps and worn jackets bend over a heap of sand and shovel it onto a board, one looking up toward the camera; other men stand around with their hands in their pockets or holding tools, and more timber lies stacked behind. According to the source German boys fill a wagon with sand in the new village of Neudorf, built by and for homeless refugees from the Sudetenland and East Silesia in the district of Grossenhain.
