EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Food will win the war, 1917" transports us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts immigrants arriving in New York harbor, their eyes filled with hope and determination as they catch sight of the Statue of Liberty beneath a vibrant red, white, and blue rainbow. A powerful message written in Yiddish accompanies the scene: "Food will win the war. You came here seeking freedom. You must now help to preserve it. Wheat is needed for the allies. Waste nothing". The photograph encapsulates both the struggles and resilience of these newcomers who left their homelands behind to seek a better life in America during World War I. It serves as a reminder that even amidst great uncertainty and conflict, unity can be found through shared goals. The presence of men and women from diverse backgrounds emphasizes how immigration has always been an integral part of American society's fabric – contributing not only culturally but also economically during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded that food played a crucial role in winning the war; it was not just soldiers on battlefields who fought for victory but also ordinary citizens who contributed by conserving resources and minimizing waste. This print captures a pivotal moment in time when immigrants were called upon to support their new home country while still preserving their own heritage—a testament to the enduring spirit of those who sought refuge on American shores over a century ago.
