EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image captured by Katarina Stoltz, a man stands outside General Wojciech Jaruzelski's house in Warsaw, lighting a candle as a symbolic gesture. The photograph was taken on December 12,2006, just one day before the 25th anniversary of the martial law imposed by the communist government under General Jaruzelski. The candlelight serves as a solemn tribute to commemorate the military crackdown that took place on December 13,1981. It was during this time that General Jaruzelski attempted to suppress the Solidarity union and consolidate power by imposing martial law. This event marked a dark chapter in Poland's history when civil liberties were curtailed and many individuals suffered under an oppressive regime. The photo captures not only the act of remembrance but also reflects upon Poland's journey towards democracy and freedom. The flickering flame symbolizes hope amidst adversity and resilience in face of oppression. Katarina Stoltz skillfully captures this moment with her lens, highlighting both the historical significance of these events and their lasting impact on Polish society. Through her photography, she invites viewers to reflect upon the sacrifices made for liberty while reminding us of our responsibility to safeguard democratic values.
