Composition: Vredescentrum, Scientific Committee Antwerp’14-’18 Historical research by Geheugen Collectief Author: Stefaan Vermeulen Editor: Lotte Dodion and Sophie Serraris Design Het Geel Punt bvba Translation Christophe Declercq At the outbreak of war in August 1914, the young lawyer Joseph Mulch (° 1882) joined the Antwerp civilian guards. Only a week into the conflict he became the German translator for the military government and clerk at the court martial. By the end of September, he was appointed civil lawyer of the war governor and oversaw the ware houses whose German owners or trade managers had been expelled or taken into custody’ . Josef Muls was a first hand witness of events in the city. His chronicle ‘De Val van Antwerpen’ (The Fall of Antwerp) paints a lively picture of everyday life in the besieged city. On 7 October, he fled from the city himself. He stayed in London first, but then moved to Paris. After the armistice he returned to Antwerp, where he became a professor of art history. Writer Thomas Maes incorporates diary excerpts from ‘De Val van Antwerpen’ by Josef Muls in his book ‘Antwerpen 1914’. The book ‘Antwerpen 1914’ was launched in cooperation with publishing company Linkeroever during Cultuurmarkt 2013. 17
