From Hogarth's 'Four Times of the Day' to the heart-wrenching scenes of child refugees during World War II, the concept of displacement has been a recurring theme throughout history. At noon, when the sun is at its peak, we are reminded of those who have sought refuge in unfamiliar lands. In Edmonton's Strand Refuge, hope and despair intertwined as individuals fled from various conflicts. The escape from Harbin in July 1900 during the Boxer Rebellion stands as a testament to human resilience amidst chaos. Mudros, Greece became an unexpected haven for Russian refugees seeking solace from their war-torn homeland. The plight of Russian Jews found echoes in England, where they sought safety and stability. A glimpse into New York's Jewish market on the East Side between 1890-1901 reveals both struggle and determination etched onto every face captured by black-and-white photography. During World War I, Serbian soldiers valiantly protected columns of peasants fleeing towards Albania - an exodus that symbolized a nation's fight for survival. Similarly, Belgians escaping Termonde in 1914 showcased courage amid destruction. Millfield House served as a sanctuary for Belgian refugees during this tumultuous time; it was here that stories were shared and lives rebuilt against all odds. Even children bore witness to these trials firsthand during World War II when Belgian refugee children faced uncertainty far from home. Refugees - not just mere victims but survivors - remind us that humanity can endure even under unimaginable circumstances.
