EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and historic photograph, Mayor Adolphe Max of Brussels stands firm against the advancing German army during the early days of World War I. The image, dated August 20, 1914, captures a pivotal moment as Max and his colleagues, Aldéric Steens, Victor Jacqmain, and Paul Vauthier, refuse to shake the hand of General Maximilian von Jarotsky, the leader of the German forces invading Flanders. The heroic trio's defiant stance symbolized the determination of the Belgian people to resist the enemy, despite the overwhelming military might of the invading forces. Their refusal to acknowledge the German general was a bold act of defiance, a testament to their unwavering commitment to their country and its sovereignty. Mayor Max, a prominent figure in Belgian politics, was known for his strong stance against German expansionism. His courageous decision to stand up to the invading forces, along with his colleagues, set the tone for the Belgian resistance during the early stages of the war. The photograph serves as a reminder of the bravery and resilience of the Belgian people during this tumultuous time in history. The photograph was taken in Brussels, the capital city of Belgium, which was a key target for the German forces due to its strategic location. Despite the odds against them, the Belgian people, led by their brave mayor and his colleagues, refused to give in to the invaders. This iconic image stands as a testament to their unwavering spirit and their commitment to their country. General von Jarotsky, a seasoned military leader, was taken aback by the Belgian officials' refusal to acknowledge him. The photograph captures the tension and the historical significance of the moment, as the fate of Belgium hung in the balance. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the Belgian people during the First World War and the importance of standing up for one's principles, even in the face of adversity.
