EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Terry Fincher in East Berlin, East Germany on the 18th of August 1961, offers a glimpse into daily life continuing as normal amidst the construction of the infamous Berlin Wall. In this snapshot from the 1960s Cold War era, we witness scenes that reveal resilience and perseverance despite political division. The image showcases bustling street scenes filled with people going about their everyday lives. The elderly can be seen strolling along the sidewalks, seemingly unfazed by the turmoil surrounding them. Traffic flows steadily through roads lined with shops and buildings, indicating that life continued to move forward even in these uncertain times. It serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary citizens adapted to their circumstances during this period of intense geopolitical tension. Despite being physically divided by concrete barriers and barbed wire fences soon after this photograph was taken, it is evident that they carried on with their routines and maintained a sense of normalcy. Fincher's lens captures not only a specific location but also an atmosphere defined by determination and resilience. This image transports us back to an era when daily life persisted against all odds in East Germany's German Democratic Republic (GDR). It provides valuable insight into how individuals navigated through adversity while striving for stability and continuity amid one of history's most significant divisions.
