EDITORS COMMENTS
This WW2 Christmas greetings card featuring Felix the lucky cat is a powerful reminder of resilience and hope during one of the darkest periods in history. The photograph captures Felix trapped at the bottom of a smouldering crater, which was once Raphael House, for seventeen days after a devastating bombing raid. Despite the odds stacked against him, Felix miraculously survived the ordeal, becoming a symbol of strength and survival during wartime.
The image is a poignant representation of the challenges faced by both humans and animals alike during World War II. It serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that prevailed even in the most dire circumstances. As we reflect on this historic moment captured in time, let us remember not only the sacrifices made but also the small miracles that brought light into darkness.
This print from March of Women Collection offers us a glimpse into history and reminds us to cherish every moment of peace and joy, especially during times of hardship. Let Felix's story inspire us to never lose hope, no matter how difficult our circumstances may be.
