EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the grim reality of life for refugees in Thessaloniki, Greece, during the First World War. Circa 1917, the city had become a bustling hub for displaced persons from various backgrounds, fleeing the conflict that ravaged Europe. In this image, a group of refugees huddle together in the Vardar Quarter, a neighborhood that had become a temporary shelter for thousands. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Salonika, had long been a melting pot of cultures, and the influx of refugees only added to its rich diversity. Yet, the conditions in which they lived were far from ideal. With limited resources and few prospects for employment, many refugees struggled to survive. Despite the hardships, there were moments of resilience and community. In this photograph, we see a group of women and children gathered around a fire, seeking warmth and comfort. The children, dressed in ragged clothing, cling to their mothers or play with makeshift toys. The women, their faces etched with worry and fatigue, offer what little comfort they can to their young ones. The Vardar Quarter, with its narrow streets and cramped living conditions, was a far cry from the idyllic image of Greece that many had in mind. Yet, it was a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who had been uprooted from their homes and forced to start anew. This photograph serves as a reminder of the human cost of war and the strength and resilience of those who endure it.
