The needy seamstresses deliver their public relief works in the Berlin clothing district. As millions of men were drafted at the outbreak of war, many of the main breadwinners of the families are missing. The state funds did not compensate for this sufficiently. Therefore the state created relief works and service obligations to help. In the background, the store H.Czapski. On the wall is a poster with an announcement about public relief work in the clothing industry.
