"Itenya 1935. Heidentaufe. Frauen." ("Itenya in 1935. Baptizing the heathen. Women."). A woman is kneeling. The missionary is pouring water over her head. The missionary's assistant is standing beside them. In the background women standing in a line and watching the scene . Cf. photo no. 10534. The year given there (1936) is probably wrong. -- Ernst Waldner (1898-?) was a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine and served in East Africa. He married Julie Friederike Ebinger.
