Young man and woman sit on a cot or canvas-topped bench under a calendar while the woman sorts photographs in a room at Rohwer concentration camp, Rohwer, Arkansas, 1942-1945. Woman in white blouse and dark skirt sits with open box on her lap at L looking down at photographs in her hands. Dressed in a striped T-shirt, the bored young man sits with his elbows on his knees, his chin resting on his hand. A calendar from the Edward J. Meyers Freight Transfer Company hangs on the wall directly behind them.
