EDITORS COMMENTS

In this photo print, we witness the Berlin Zoo's mighty beast with its jaws wide open. The subject of this awe-inspiring image is none other than the hippopotamus, a creature hailing from South Africa. However, this particular animal has endured the hardships brought upon by the Allied raids on Berlin during World War II. The devastating consequences of war are evident as we observe the zoo's damaged state. Yet amidst the chaos and destruction, our attention is drawn to this magnificent hippo submerged under water in his small lake sanctuary. It seems that he still believes the war rages on, for he only emerges from his watery refuge at feeding time each afternoon. As we delve into history through this photograph captured in October 1946, it becomes apparent that even animals were affected by rationing and scarcity during those challenging times. The daily ration of stale black bread serves as a stark reminder of how everyone had to make do with limited resources. This image not only showcases an extraordinary moment but also reflects resilience and survival against all odds. The crowds surrounding the hippopotamus exhibit stand witness to both curiosity and admiration for nature's wonders amidst adversity. Through Memory Lane Prints' lens, we are transported back to an era where war dominated lives and yet managed to capture glimpses of beauty within unexpected places like zoos – reminding us that life continues even in times of turmoil.
