EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at the Minsk Orphanage in the 1920s. The faces of the children and staff tell a story of resilience and hope during a tumultuous period in history. In the backdrop of political upheaval, these young souls found solace and community within the walls of this institution.
The establishment of the Jewish Autonomous Region in Birobidzhan reflects a chapter of Soviet history that sought to create a homeland for Jewish people. This album, curated by the National Library of Russia, provides us with a glimpse into the early years of this region through 274 poignant photographs.
As we gaze upon this black and white image, we are reminded of the strength and spirit embodied by each individual captured within its frame. The innocence on their faces speaks volumes about their shared experiences and bond as orphans facing an uncertain future.
Through this historical artifact, we are transported back to a time when faith, tradition, and community were pillars that held society together amidst challenging circumstances. The legacy preserved in this photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and solidarity during times of adversity.
