EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a chilling moment in history - troops attempting to clear the streets during anti-Jewish riots in Algiers, Algeria, back in 1898. The image, originally featured in Le Petit Journal and taken by an unknown photographer, showcases the grim reality of violence and prejudice that plagued society at the time. In the foreground lies the lifeless body of a victim, serving as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of such hatred. The dim lighting from street lamps adds an eerie atmosphere to this already somber scene. Clad in military uniforms, soldiers can be seen bravely trying to restore order amidst chaos. The photograph not only reflects on the specific event but also serves as a powerful symbol for broader themes such as religious prejudice and societal unrest. It is a testament to how deeply rooted discrimination can lead to violent acts against innocent individuals. As we gaze upon this century-old image, it reminds us of our collective responsibility to combat bigotry and promote tolerance. It serves as a poignant reminder that history should never repeat itself when it comes to such atrocities. This print is more than just an archival artifact; it encapsulates both sorrow and resilience while urging us all towards compassion and understanding.
