I came across this picture just now. On my iGoogle home page I have 'what happened in this day in history' gadget.... So on this day:
"Nazis imprison 380,000 people in the Warsaw Ghetto." It is accompanied with the following picture...
It is a very telling image. I can say nothing that has not been said before of course, but what sticks out for me in this image are the kids. As my kids get older I realise what they understand at certain ages. And more importantly what they do not. Sure, a kid in this picture would understand that the soilders with guns meant bad news and that they (the kids) should just do what their parents were doing. But they do not understand the bigger picture.
It is just a really sorry image. A brilliant picture that tells a terrible story. A story that should have finished 60 years ago but never did...
Have something to say? Please please email me at donalod@gmail.com and let me know what you think...
