Katherine Schellenberg was born in 1932, to second generation
emigrant farmers in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan, Canada.
To Katherine the iconic images of the great depression are more
than just old black and white photographs of men waiting in bread
lines, working in relief camps and protesting against their
dreadful destitution.
She remembers the poverty and great dust storms sweeping across the
Western prairies, making it impossible for her family to feed
themselves, these are real memories for her not just something you
read about in history books.
Extracts from e-mail's from Kathy, talking about living in
Saskatchewan Canada, as a young girl.
