EDITORS COMMENTS
The powerful print titled "WORLD WAR I: REFUGEES. Lest We Perish" captures the essence of a desperate time in history. Created by Ethel Franklin Betts Bains in 1917, this poster was commissioned by the American Committee for Relief in the Near East to raise awareness and appeal for help for deported Armenian and Greek Orthodox Christians suffering under Ottoman Empire during World War I. In this poignant image, we see a young girl wearing a traditional headdress, representing the Hellenic Republic, standing amidst a group of women who are clearly refugees. The expressions on their faces reveal both despair and hope as they navigate through poverty and displacement caused by war. Bains' use of text is strikingly effective; her slogan "Lest We Perish" serves as a call to action, urging viewers to recognize the urgency of providing relief to these vulnerable populations. The poster's propaganda-like style aims to evoke empathy from its audience while highlighting the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Turkey at that time. This historical artifact reminds us not only of the atrocities endured during World War I but also emphasizes our responsibility towards those affected by conflict worldwide. It serves as an important reminder that even in times of turmoil, compassion and support can make all the difference between life and death for those facing unimaginable hardships.
