EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking and historic print captures a unique moment in the annals of Jewish military history: French and German Jewish soldiers celebrating the holy day of Yom Kippur during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. The scene, depicted on a vibrant red and black kerchief, unfolds before the backdrop of an open-air service held near Metz. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, come together in a spirit of unity and shared faith, transcending the political and military tensions of the time. The kerchief, a cherished relic from the past, is inscribed in Hebrew and features four verses of a German poem in each corner. The verses, penned in the spirit of brotherhood and unity, underscore the significance of the moment and the enduring bond between these soldiers. The print, a testament to the resilience and adaptability of Jewish communities in the face of adversity, is a poignant reminder of the rich history of Jewish military service. The print, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a topographical Judaica piece that offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of Jewish history. The Franco-Prussian War, which lasted from 1870 to 1871, was a major European conflict that saw the unification of Germany under the leadership of Otto von Bismarck. The print, which predates both World War I and World War II, offers a unique perspective on the experiences of Jewish soldiers during a time of war and conflict. The print, which is not to be used for commercial purposes, is a valuable addition to any collection of military history, Judaica, or historical prints. Its intricate details, vibrant colors, and historical significance make it a must-have for scholars, collectors, and anyone with an interest in the complex and rich history of Jewish military service.
