150 Years German Red Cross: Senior Citizens Care

BERLIN, GERMANY - MARCH 11: Day guest Helga covered her face with her hands the middle of the room in the geriatric day care facility of the German Red Cross (DRK, or Deutsches Rotes Kreuz) at Villa Albrecht on March 11, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. A great number of senior Citzens struggle with various forms of dementia at Villa Albrecht. The German Red Cross dates its origin back to 1863 with the founding of the Wuerttembergischer Sanitaetsverein, a medical association that provided care to wounded soldiers. Today the German Red Cross has four million members nationwide and is active in international aid and social care. (Photo by Carsten Koall/Getty Images)
