EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flight (La Fuite) by Pierre Paulus is a poignant and powerful image that captures the raw emotion and desperation of a Belgian family as they flee the advancing terror of the German army during World War I. Circa 1914, the date of this photograph, marks the beginning of the devastating conflict that would last for over four years and claim the lives of millions. The image shows a family, consisting of a mother, father, and their young children, making their way through a burning village. The village, once a peaceful home to many, is now reduced to ashes and rubble, a stark reminder of the atrocities and crimes that the German army had inflicted upon the innocent civilians. The family, with their belongings in tow, are in a state of panic and fear, their faces etched with worry and determination as they make their way to safety. The advancing German army, not shown in the photograph, looms ominously in the background, a constant threat and reminder of the danger that the family faces. The family's flight is not a choice but a necessity, a desperate attempt to save their lives and those of their children. The photograph, taken by Belgian photographer Pierre Paulus, is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, as well as a stark reminder of the horrors and atrocities that war inflicts upon innocent civilians. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and the need to remember the lessons of history to prevent such devastation from happening again.
