EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of truth during the Saarland Plebiscite of 1935, an historic event that would determine the future political alignment of the Saar region. The scene unfolds in the bustling counting room of Warthburg in Saarbrucken, where the fate of thousands of votes was being decided. The Saarland, a coal-rich territory located on the border between France and Germany, had been under French administration since the end of World War I. However, in 1935, the people of the Saarland were given the opportunity to vote on whether they wanted to rejoin Germany or remain under French rule. The image shows a group of election officials meticulously counting the votes, their faces focused and determined. The air in the room is thick with tension and anticipation, as the outcome of the plebiscite hung in the balance. The results would eventually show that an overwhelming 90% of the Saar people had voted in favor of reunification with Germany. The Saarland Plebiscite was a significant moment in European history, as it marked the beginning of the end of the post-World War I order and the start of a new era. The event also highlighted the deep cultural and historical ties between the Saarland and Germany, which had been severed by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the power of the ballot box and the enduring bonds of national identity.
