EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a haunting scene from 1919 Germany, depicting mounted police driving off scavengers from the potato fields during a time of terrible shortages following the war. The image is filled with tension and desperation as the impoverished scavengers are forced to retreat by force.
The historical significance of this moment is palpable, reflecting the harsh realities faced by many in post-war Germany. The presence of the police on horseback adds an element of authority and control, highlighting the struggle for survival in a time of scarcity.
The stark contrast between the lush potato fields and the destitute scavengers serves as a poignant reminder of the disparities that existed during this tumultuous period in history. It is a sobering depiction of how events beyond our control can have devastating consequences on society's most vulnerable members.
Through this photograph, Mary Evans Picture Library/WEIMA has captured not only a specific moment in time but also a universal truth about human resilience and endurance in the face of adversity. It is a testament to both our capacity for compassion and our capacity for cruelty, serving as a reminder to never forget the lessons learned from history.
