EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during the German occupation on the Eastern Front in World War I. In this wintry street scene, local people, likely members of the Polish community at that time, are seen queuing to buy petrol from German authorities. The caption reveals that this image is taken from a larger collection titled "Unter deutscher Besatzung" (Under German Occupation), shedding light on the social history of this period. The photograph not only showcases the administration and military presence but also highlights the poverty and daily struggles faced by those living under occupation. Children can be seen among the queue, emphasizing how war affects all aspects of life, even for young ones. Additionally, there is mention of a possible connection to Jewish life within this community during that time. This adds another layer of historical significance to the image as it reflects upon different ethnic groups' experiences under German rule. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into early 20th-century Europe during one of its most tumultuous periods. It serves as a reminder of the impact war has on ordinary people's lives and provides valuable insight into an important chapter in world history - World War I on the Eastern Front.
