EDITORS COMMENTS
The Baltic Railway Station, expulsion of Jews from St Petersburg, Russia, 1891. This powerful print captures the heart-wrenching moment in history when religious prejudice led to the forced emigration of Jewish families from St Petersburg. Created by B Baruch and featured in The Illustrated London News on June 20th, 1891, this image serves as a haunting reminder of the hardships faced by those who were targeted due to their faith. In this scene, we witness men, women, and children being expelled from their homes and torn away from their belongings. The anguish on their faces reflects the misery they endured as victims of anti-Semitic sentiment. A railway car stands before them symbolizing both transportation and separation - a vehicle that will take them away from everything they know. The artist's attention to detail highlights not only the physical pain but also the emotional toll inflicted upon these individuals. Their expressions convey fear and uncertainty about what awaits them in an unknown land. This print serves as a testament to the resilience of those who have experienced religious persecution throughout history. It reminds us of our responsibility to confront prejudice wherever it may exist today. B Baruch's work encapsulates not just a specific event but also represents a broader concept: migration driven by discrimination. Through this image, we are compelled to reflect on how far society has come while acknowledging that there is still progress yet to be made.
