A group of elderly Jews in Kamień Koszyrski, Ukraine. Photographed by German soldiers during World War I. Wissen Press Berlin. (At the outbreak of World War I, the townspeople were drafted into the Russian army. Kamień Koszyrski was filled with refugees, those who had fled from southern Volhynia in the border area with Austria. The Austrian army entered the town, and transferred the power to the army of the German Empire which controlled the area until the February revolution of 1917 and the German takeover of Ukraine. It was the Jews who restored the town, as part of forced labor imposed on them. In 1918, due to the shortages and harsh conditions, the Jews suffered from various plagues, including typhus.
