EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating aftermath of the blown-up bridge in Warsaw during World War I. The image shows a once vital connection over the Vistula River now reduced to rubble, symbolizing the destruction and chaos that ensued during this tumultuous time in history.
In May 1915, as the combined forces of Austria-Hungary and Germany launched an attack on the Russian army at Gorlice, it forced them into a hasty retreat through Galicia and then Poland. This event not only resulted in around 3/4 million Russian prisoners but also made refugees out of approximately 10 million people who were caught in the crossfire.
The significance of this historical moment is palpable in this photograph, showcasing the impact of war on both infrastructure and human lives. The German advance was relentless, leaving behind a trail of destruction that forever altered landscapes and communities.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the importance of remembering our past and learning from it to ensure that such tragedies are never repeated. This photo serves as a poignant reminder of the cost of war and the resilience of those who endure its hardships.
