EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Christian Mang, German police officers stand guard at a Christmas market in the Prenzlauer Berg district of Berlin. The chilling scene is a stark reminder of the tragic events that unfolded just days earlier on December 20,2016. A truck had plowed into a crowded Christmas market at Breitscheidplatz in western Berlin, claiming the lives of twelve innocent people. The photograph exudes an air of coldness and fear as the officers patrol the area amidst Christmas decorations and winter darkness. Their uniforms create silhouettes against the night sky, emphasizing their role as protectors in times of uncertainty. The depth of field cleverly blurs out any recognizable features, highlighting instead their collective presence rather than individual identity. Despite this act of terrorism that shook Germany to its core, these brave policemen ensure that visitors can still enjoy the festive atmosphere while feeling safe and unharmed. They walk leisurely yet with purpose, symbolizing resilience and determination in face of adversity. This photo serves as a poignant reminder not only of tragedy but also showcases how communities come together during difficult times. It captures both sorrow and hope - reminding us all to cherish our loved ones during this season while standing united against acts designed to instill fear within us all.
