Communal potty training . . .

Caption from Speigel Online:

Potty training in East Berlin. This photo shows children at a nursery school in the Friedrichshain district in 1975. German photographer Thomas Hoepker took the image when he worked as a photographer for the German magazine Stern. He and his wife, a journalist for Stern, lived in East Berlin and chronicled daily life there. He now lives and works as a photographer in New York.
