EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Dr. W Rathenau, the esteemed German Foreign Minister, photographed in Berlin on his departure for Genoa. The date was April 11,1922, during the vibrant era of the Weimar Republic. Walther Rathenau was not just a politician but also an influential industrialist, writer, and statesman who played a crucial role in shaping Germany's foreign policy. Serving as Foreign Minister during this tumultuous time required great skill and diplomacy. Tragically, only two months after signing the Treaty of Rapallo that aimed to improve relations between Germany and Russia, Rathenau met a devastating fate. On June 24th of that same year, he was assassinated - an act that shook the nation to its core. In this portrait captured by Central News photographers from TopFoto archives, we see Dr. W Rathenau exuding confidence and determination as he embarks on his journey to Genoa. This monochrome image encapsulates both his intellect and charisma. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of peace and how one man's dedication can shape nations' destinies forevermore.
