Loewenstein,
Germany, August 16, 1957: A young resident sits on the steps at
the Lichtenstern orphanage, a centuries-old former convent that by the
mid-1950s housed about 140 children. American soldiers from the nearby 28th
Battle Group at Heilbronn were sponsors of the orphanage, giving parties for
the kids and helping out with needed work on the grounds.
