La Guerre a L'Allemande
EDITORS COMMENTS
("The War is with the Germans") is a poignant and powerful image captured during the aftermath of the First World War in Geneva, Switzerland. The photograph, taken in 1918, depicts two caskets, those of M. and Mme Stroehlin, who were killed in the church of Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais on March 29, 1918. Two gendarmes stand guard over the caskets, their solemn presence adding to the somber mood of the scene. The image was part of an exhibition held under the porch of the Temple de Plainpalais in Geneva, and was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a renowned French publication based in Paris. The photograph captures the devastating impact of the war on ordinary people, and the religious setting of the image underscores the role of faith and spirituality in the face of conflict and loss. The ruined church of Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais, a symbol of the destruction wrought by the war, stands in the background, a stark reminder of the devastation that had befallen Europe during those tumultuous years. The image is a testament to the human cost of war and the enduring power of memory and commemoration. The identity of the photographer remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this poignant and evocative image. It is a reminder of the past, a memorial to the victims of the First World War, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and preserve history.
