EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Belgian Refugees on the Road, 1939-1940" captures a poignant moment during the tumultuous years of World War II. Taken in 1941 by an unknown creator, this image showcases a group of displaced Belgian refugees seeking solace and safety amidst the chaos of war. The photograph depicts men, women, and children resting alongside a country road with their horse-drawn cart. The weariness etched on their faces tells a story of hardship and uncertainty as they navigate through unfamiliar territory. Despite their circumstances, there is resilience evident in their eyes - a determination to persevere despite the challenges they face. The presence of horses adds another layer of symbolism to this powerful image. These majestic animals have long been associated with strength and endurance, serving as loyal companions throughout history. In this context, they represent both physical transportation for these refugees as well as emotional support during times of distress. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of the immense human cost that war inflicts upon innocent lives. It prompts us to reflect on our own responsibilities towards those who are forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution. This evocative print from "Fighter Pilot - A Personal Record of the Campaign in France" offers us an opportunity to honor the resilience and courage displayed by these Belgian refugees during one of humanity's darkest chapters – World War II.
