EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a somber scene from the First World War in Greece, specifically Thessaloniki on 28 December 1915. The image shows the Arab cemetery under the ramparts, a solemn reminder of the toll that war takes on all involved. The rows of tombstones stand as silent witnesses to the sacrifices made by those who fought and died in this conflict.
The photograph offers a glimpse into history, transporting us back to a time of great turmoil and loss. The cemetery is surrounded by fortifications, emphasizing the sense of isolation and vulnerability that comes with war. In the distance, we can see a view of the city, serving as a stark contrast to the peacefulness of the graveyard.
The presence of Muslim graves in this predominantly Christian region highlights the diversity and complexity of wartime experiences. It reminds us that people from all walks of life were affected by this global conflict.
Overall, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and encourages us to reflect on our shared history. It is a powerful testament to those who have gone before us and serves as an important historical document for future generations to learn from.
