EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Reinhard Krause, the iconic Brandenburg Gate stands tall and illuminated against the cold night sky. The gate serves as a solemn memorial, paying tribute to the 12 innocent victims tragically killed in a horrific truck attack at Berlin's Breitscheidplatz Christmas market on December 20,2016. From a low angle view, we witness the grandeur of this historic architectural masterpiece adorned with Christmas decorations. Each pillar represents strength and resilience amidst darkness and fear. The gate's creative use of illumination creates an ethereal atmosphere that pierces through the air, symbolizing hope in times of tragedy. The image captures not only the external beauty but also mournful emotions that resonate within us all. It reminds us of our shared humanity and collective grief for those lost too soon. As we gaze upon this winter scene, we are reminded to cherish each moment with loved ones during this festive season while remaining vigilant against acts of terrorism. Reinhard Krause's photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even in moments of despair, unity can prevail over terror. This image stands as a testament to resilience and solidarity—a visual representation of remembrance and healing for both Berliners and people around the world impacted by senseless violence.
