EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - September 9,1938, outside Damascus Gate in Jerusalem, Israel. The image captures a scene of intense security measures as citizens are being searched for arms en masse. In the foreground, we see a large group of individuals who have been temporarily arrested during this operation. They stand under the watchful eyes of armed soldiers with machine guns, their faces reflecting a mix of apprehension and curiosity. The photograph offers a glimpse into the tense atmosphere that prevailed during this period in Jerusalem's history. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict and unrest that plagued the region at that time. Through its stark composition and powerful imagery, this print transports us back to an era when fear and suspicion permeated everyday life for those living in Jerusalem. It is both an important historical document and a testament to human resilience amidst adversity. As we contemplate this striking image from nearly eight decades ago, it prompts us to reflect on how far our world has come since then while also reminding us of the importance of peace-building efforts to ensure such scenes remain confined to history books rather than present realities.
