EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a chilling moment in history - a notice displayed in a railway station in German-occupied Paris on 17 July 1940. The notice, written in German, sternly declares that entering the city without a permit from the Commandant is strictly forbidden. The image serves as a haunting reminder of the harsh realities faced by the people of France during World War II. Under German occupation, daily life was filled with restrictions and prohibitions, as seen through this stark proclamation at a transportation hub. The photograph's monochrome aesthetic further emphasizes the somber atmosphere of wartime France. The absence of color highlights the gravity and severity of the situation unfolding within this train station. Although created by an unknown artist, this print has become an important historical artifact. It symbolizes not only Germany's control over occupied territories but also represents resilience and defiance against oppression. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as both a testament to human strength amidst adversity and as a cautionary reminder about the consequences of war. This photograph allows us to glimpse into one small aspect of life under occupation during one of humanity's darkest chapters - World War II.
