helen (hollenbach) mengel in 1942, alongside her then soon to be husband, carl mengel, at his parents' home in ontelaunee township.
helen has a poem in the first volume for this poetry project. but interviewing her separately for her life story led to new information to share, that she'll be 92 in a few weeks and worked with five german war prisoners (former nazi soldiers) at the inspections office of the reading airport when it was used as a military air base during and after world war ii.
the photo is courtesy of her son kenneth mengel.
