EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the plight of Belgian refugees at Bergen-op-zoom during World War I, between 1914 and 1915. The image, taken by George Graham Bain of the Bain News Service, shows a group of civilians - men, women, and children - who have been displaced from their homes in Belgium due to the ravages of war.
In the background, we see the makeshift refugee camp where these individuals have sought shelter and safety. The faces of the refugees tell stories of hardship and resilience as they navigate through uncertain times. Among them are young children, babies in arms, symbolizing innocence amidst chaos.
The image is a snapshot frozen in time that serves as a reminder of the human cost of conflict. It speaks to the universal experience of displacement and loss that transcends borders and time periods.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Bain News Service, let us remember the strength and courage exhibited by these Belgian refugees in the face of adversity. Their story is one that resonates with compassion and empathy for all those who have been forced to flee their homes in search for peace and security.
