Basque Orphans - A Glimpse of Hope Amidst the Chaos
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a significant moment in history - the lives of Basque children uprooted by the ravages of the Spanish Civil War. Taken on 25th September 1937, it portrays a group of young refugees standing on the seafront at St Marys Bay Holiday Camp in New Romney, Kent. In this landscape format image, we see a line of female youth standing side by side, their backs turned towards us. Their faces remain hidden from view, but their presence speaks volumes about resilience and strength amidst adversity. The girls are dressed in simple attire, reflecting both their displacement and humble circumstances. As they gaze out onto the vast expanse of sea before them, one cannot help but wonder what thoughts occupy their minds. Are they longing for home? Do they yearn for loved ones left behind? Yet despite these uncertainties, there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie among them – an unbreakable bond forged through shared experiences. The backdrop showcases England's coastline; its beauty contrasting with the turmoil that has brought these children to foreign shores. This temporary haven offers solace until peace is restored in Spain and they can return home once more. Captured by Reg Speller's lens with utmost sensitivity and compassion, this archival photograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of war's devastating impact but also humanity's capacity for empathy and solidarity during times of crisis.
