EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the desolate image of 'The Inauspicious House' in Thessaloniki, Greece, during the tumultuous year of 1917. The house, also known as Betchinar or La Maison Sinistre, stands alone amidst the ruins of war-torn Thessaloniki. The city, then under the control of the Greek and allied forces, had been a battleground since the beginning of the First World War. The Inauspicious House, with its peeling paint, broken windows, and overgrown garden, appears as a haunting reminder of the hardships and destruction endured by the city and its inhabitants. The house, located in the heart of Thessaloniki, once stood as a symbol of prosperity and elegance, but now lies in disrepair, reflecting the devastating impact of the war. Thessaloniki, a vibrant and culturally rich city, had been a melting pot of various ethnic groups, including Greeks, Jews, and Turks. However, the war brought about the displacement and suffering of many, leaving behind a trail of destruction. The Inauspicious House, with its forlorn appearance, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the resilience of those who endured it. This photograph, taken during the World War One era, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment of historical significance. The Inauspicious House, with its somber and melancholic aura, invites us to reflect on the past and the lessons we can learn from it.
