Question please: if I remember correctly, Poland was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire during the WWI. I wonder from what these peasant are escaping? Russians? I think it was a stalemate on the Eastern front as it was in the west. Germans? They were allied to Austria. Any info?
wojtek said:
You are wrong T.J In period 1795-1918 Poland was under Russian,Prussian and Austro-Hungarian occupation .
TJ said:
wojtek Thanks for correcting me. So, these refugees are escaping whom and where to?
skillful north said:
My guess is they were escaping from anyone who was shooting. The peasants didn't really have a 'side' just wanted to be left alone to try and work the farm and have shelter and food.

Whenever a photographer sees his subject with some sense of nobility and dignity, this is the result. This is such a good photograph.
snatre said:
armenian genocide ? what is that?
skillful north said:
From Wikipedia The Armenian Genocide (Armenian: Turkish: Ermeni Soykırımı), also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, by Armenians, the Great Calamity —refers to the deliberate and systematic destruction (genocide) of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I. It was characterised by the use of massacres, and the use of deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of Armenian deaths generally held to have been between one and one-and-a-half million.[1] Other ethnic groups were similarly attacked by the Empire during this period, including Assyrians, Greeks, and Kurdish people and some scholars consider the events to be part of the same policy of extermination.[2]
