EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of history - one of the clandestine newspapers called "Defense de France" from January 15,1944. The image, captured by Leonard de Selva and now part of a private collection, highlights the enduring spirit of press freedom and expression during times of war. During World War II, censorship was rampant as governments sought to control information flow to maintain their agendas. However, brave individuals like those behind "Defense de France" defied these restrictions and risked their lives to disseminate vital news and opinions. This clandestine newspaper served as a beacon of hope for resistance fighters known as maquisards who fought against Nazi occupation in France. The photograph not only symbolizes the resilience and determination of those involved in the underground press but also serves as a reminder that truth cannot be silenced even in the darkest times. It is an embodiment of the power inherent in journalism - its ability to challenge authority, expose injustice, and inspire change. As we reflect on this remarkable artifact from the 20th century's most devastating conflict, let us remember those who valiantly fought for freedom through words printed on fragile pages. Their unwavering commitment to preserving democracy serves as an inspiration for future generations striving for a world where freedom of expression remains sacrosanct.
