EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily routine of life in the Kitchener Refugee Camp during World War II. Located in England, the camp was established to house refugees who had been displaced by the conflict, many of whom had been forcibly removed from their homes in Europe. Despite the challenging circumstances, the refugees are seen here engaging in a simple yet meaningful activity – shaving outdoors. The image is a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, even in the most trying of times. Many of the refugees preferred this novelty of camp life, a small luxury that brought a sense of normalcy to their daily existence. The authorities had made every effort to provide the refugees with home comforts, including the provision of barber services, but the freedom to shave outdoors seemed to hold a special appeal. The photograph is a testament to the complexities of the refugee experience during World War II. While the refugees were forced to leave their homes and livelihoods behind, they were also able to create new communities and find moments of joy and normalcy in the most unexpected places. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the refugees, providing a window into their experiences and offering a reminder of the human stories that lie behind the larger historical narrative of the war. The Kitchener Refugee Camp was just one of many camps established during World War II to house refugees displaced by the conflict. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the refugee experience, highlighting the importance of small moments of joy and normalcy in the face of adversity.
