EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant image captures a moment of resistance and defiance during the First World War. In the midst of German occupation, a brave Belgian priest stands at his pulpit, reading Cardinal Mercier's protest against the deportation of his congregation to Germany for forced labor. As he speaks out against this injustice, a German soldier stands guard at the bottom of the pulpit, a stark reminder of the oppressive forces that seek to silence dissent.
The tension in the air is palpable as the priest's words echo through the church, challenging both his own flock and their occupiers to stand up against tyranny. The congregation listens intently, their faces reflecting a mix of fear, determination, and hope for a better future.
This illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and courage shown by ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. It is a testament to the human spirit's ability to resist oppression and fight for justice even in the darkest times.
As we look back on this historical moment from 1916, let us remember those who stood up against injustice and honor their legacy by continuing to speak out against oppression wherever it may be found.
