EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in German history during the early 20th century. Taken by an anonymous German photographer, it showcases a group of German railway workers being expelled from the Ruhr region for their participation in a campaign of civil disobedience against the French occupation in August 1923. The image depicts the workers walking along a road, carrying their belongings and suitcases as they leave behind their homes and livelihoods. The hardship and uncertainty on their faces reflect the consequences they face for defying authority. This photograph is an illustration from "Zeitgeschichte in Wort und Bild" by George Soldan, published in Munich in 1933. It offers insight into the turbulent political climate of Weimar Republic Germany, marked by economic instability due to reparations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles. The forced expulsion serves as a reminder of both passive resistance against foreign occupation and the dire circumstances faced by many Germans at that time. It symbolizes not only individual suffering but also collective struggle within German society. Through this powerful image, we are transported back to this pivotal moment when politics, history, and human resilience intersected amidst European turmoil. It stands as a testament to the strength and determination of those who fought for justice during one of Germany's most challenging periods.
