EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful bronze medal captures the tragic event of the torpedoing of the liner 'Lusitania' on May 7, 1915. Created by German artist Karl Goetz, this commemorative piece depicts the sinking ship near the Irish coast after being attacked by a German submarine. The date on the medal is intentionally incorrect, as it was changed by British propaganda to support their claim that Germany had premeditated the attack on a civilian vessel secretly carrying ammunition.
The 'Lusitania' disaster was a significant moment in history, marking a turning point in World War I and sparking outrage around the world. This medal serves as a somber reminder of the lives lost and the devastation caused by war.
As we reflect on this poignant image, we are reminded of the human cost of conflict and encouraged to strive for peace and understanding among nations. The intricate details captured in this artwork convey both sorrow and resilience, making it a timeless symbol of remembrance for generations to come.
Let us honor those who perished aboard the 'Lusitania' with solemn reverence and commit ourselves to building a more peaceful future for all.
