EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant poster is a powerful reminder of the humanitarian crisis that unfolded in the Near East during World War I. The image, part of the Lest They Perish Campaign, was launched by the American Committee for Relief in the Near East (ACRNE) in 1917 to raise awareness and funds for the suffering populations of Armenia, Greece, Syria, and Persia. The poster depicts a woman, her face etched with worry and exhaustion, carrying a baby on her back as she navigates through the ruins of a destroyed city. The caption above her reads, "Lest They Perish," a call to action urging people to help prevent further suffering and loss of life. The campaign aimed to raise an impressive $30,000,000 to provide food, shelter, and medical aid to the millions affected by the conflict and its aftermath. The Lest They Perish Campaign was a significant response to the humanitarian crisis in the Near East, which saw the displacement and death of countless civilians due to war, famine, and disease. The American Committee for Relief in the Near East, founded in 1915, played a crucial role in providing aid to the affected populations, and this poster is a testament to their efforts and the compassion of the American people. As we look at this image today, we are reminded of the power of human compassion and the importance of coming together to help those in need, especially during times of crisis.
