On the follow<strong>in</strong>g page we see a photo of the founder of the one- year<br />
tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g courses and of the Soziale Frauenschule (<strong>Social</strong> Women’s School)<br />
(figure 3). Alice Salomon <strong>in</strong> 1899 at the age of 27. It is a professional photo<br />
made by the well-known studio Elvira (figure 4). 4<br />
The next page shows a s<strong>in</strong>gle portrait of Frieda Duens<strong>in</strong>g (1864–1921)<br />
without any comment. She was also a pioneer; hav<strong>in</strong>g received the first<br />
German doctorate <strong>in</strong> law, she became the founder of youth welfare and a<br />
lecturer of law at the Soziale Frauenschule (figure 5).<br />
Next comes a page with photos of several teachers of the school (figure<br />
6): Alice Salomon herself as a teacher (figure 7), Albert Levy (1862–1922),<br />
the director of the Zentrale für private Fürsorge, the German charity organisation<br />
society (figure 8), Margarete Treuge (1876–1962) and Lily Droescher<br />
(1874–1944), two teachers of the theory of social education and civics<br />
(figure 9). Then you see Margarete Berent (1887–1965), the first female lawyer<br />
<strong>in</strong> Berl<strong>in</strong> (figure 10), Charlotte Dietrich (1887–1976), lecturer <strong>in</strong> psychology<br />
and education, successor of Alice Salomon as head of the school from 1925<br />
(figure 11), Bruno Harms (1890–1976), a socially engaged physician (figure<br />
12), and f<strong>in</strong>ally Siddy Wronsky (1883–1948), who managed the Welfare<br />
Archives and played an important role <strong>in</strong> Jewish welfare organisations (figure<br />
13). She published some books together with Alice Salomon. Of course, this is<br />
not a complete list of all teachers of the school. 5<br />
The next page is headed „Das Schulhaus“, the school build<strong>in</strong>g (figure 14).<br />
It shows pictures of the conference room, the secretary‘s office and the studio<br />
of Alice Salomon (figure 15, figure 16, figure 17). A draw<strong>in</strong>g of the conference<br />
room, not <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the album, gives an impression of its earliest furnish<strong>in</strong>g<br />
(figure 18). In that room the International Committee of Schools of <strong>Social</strong> <strong>Work</strong><br />
(today: International Association of Schools of <strong>Social</strong> <strong>Work</strong>) was founded <strong>in</strong><br />
1929 and many social reformers from abroad were welcomed, from Japan, the<br />
United States, Poland, Belgium, France, Great Brita<strong>in</strong>, and so forth. Today it<br />
accommodates the Alice Salomon Archives – to rem<strong>in</strong>d people of Alice Salomon<br />
and her work at this historical location and to <strong>in</strong>spire and support research.<br />
