Shortly after the onset of the Great Depression in 1929, Walter Ballhause photographed the misery of the lowest social class and the rising terror by the National Socialists on the streets of Hanover. In just three years, he produced a body of work that is unique in its scope, thematic complexity, and stylistic design for the depiction of precarious everyday life in the declining Weimar Republic.
