Choose Citizens Deportation Poland Remain 1925

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history - the deportation of Silesians who chose to remain German citizens in Poland. The events depicted took place in September 1925 and marked a dark chapter in European history. The image shows a group of Silesians being forcibly removed from their homes, their faces reflecting fear and uncertainty about what lies ahead. The deportations were part of a larger political strategy aimed at reshaping national identities and borders in the aftermath of World War I. Despite facing immense pressure to conform to new national allegiances, these individuals bravely chose to hold onto their German citizenship, even if it meant being uprooted from the only lives they had ever known. Their decision to remain true to themselves is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Through this photo print, we are reminded of the human cost of political decisions and the resilience of those who refuse to be silenced or erased from history. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every historical event are real people with stories worth remembering. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this important piece of visual history for future generations to reflect upon and learn from.
