When I look at this picture (and others from the Holocaust), it makes me want to cry. At first glance, it is kind of hard to tell what this is. Then you realize that the piles on the ground are people. That the white is their clothing, what little they had; and the little "twigs", their arms and legs. In the left hand corner, a person dressed in black looking at what has been left there. The thought that this could happen is terrifying, that corpses would be piled up to rot and so many. Looking at this image, I feel scared and I feel sad and I feel mad that this happened; that it was a reality, that we as a human race allowed for this to happen, that these people were tortured so brutally.
