283. Russian POWs on "Blue Monday"

Notes:
Russian prisoners of war line up in the compound of a German prison camp in preparation for their weekly baths. The Russians referred to this activity as "Blue Monday."

The Germans, however, required prisoners to bathe regularly to eliminate potential sources of disease.

The Association, on the other hand, focused on the future welfare of these men and their families through educational programs.
