someone should photoshop the second photo mirror reflection to replace the first photo mirror reflection.

torah= first 5 books of the bible

My grandmother told she and her siblings were looking for the rotten potatoes on the fields in winter after nazies burned all village. It happened in Belarus...

I made reconstrucion of this Synagogoue as my academic degree here you can see how it looked https://youtu.be/BARy4alee6I :)

Knowing what would happen with deportation, makes this photo incredibly powerful, without even showing a single person.

Wow! The "effect" around the picture makes it all the more sad.

True treasure is found

Even amidst the persecution and killings, there is still the glimmer of hope and love, before it too is ground into the ashes.

What happened to her?

Too young to understand the yellow Star

oh.. so precious...( Y . Y )

Many children were safely smuggled to England or Switzerland & Sweden & survived. There were many heroes during this time period who risked their own lives to save others.

It makes me cry seeing the Jewish star on her dress, that they were labeled. It's an atrocity that anyone is ever labeled.

Notice, as young as she is, she is still made to wear the yellow Star of David patch on her clothing.

The sign says 'Jewish neighborhood. Entering is forbidden'.

Those women. They were so classy, so beautiful.

Hope and heartache

Innocent

Off to meet their maker & they didn't even know it.... I cannot imagine

Brakes my heart. Saddest thing in my lifetime and now Syria. God must weep.

With a resolution that still no digital can beat ;)

Good timing as we come upon our holiday of Passover or Pesach, Beginning sundown April 10th.

Pretty 💕

What we did and what we do.

Poor thing. To be sick and to go through such horrors

My heart breaks.

Children give us hope and their innocence is beautiful.

Heres a weird fact. If you go to the places where they burned the jews, you will see the most beautiful gardens there. Its because the ashes of the people are rich in nutrients. Its so sad, but beautiful.

Bare feet on two of these men...how cruel we humans can be........and still it goes on!

I just want to hold her hand....let her know someone cares.

poor children

The Red Army raped the women and children they were liberating. Really messed up. It makes this photo anything but pleasing to me.

Her face..

And they smile!! God bless them.

The thing that is so striking about this picture is that the Jewish police had a bad reputation for being complicit with the Nazis. Yet, members of the Jewish police were following orders at the risk of having their own families murdered. In the end, most of the Jewish police would have been deported and killed with their families.

And yet he smiles...courage.

"Men" :(

Thought-provoking.

And did we learn from this war? Unfortunately not.

Awful reality

Considering how horrific and inhumane the Holocaust was, it is hard to understand how, just a few decades after, the state of Israel can do what it does to the Palestinian population. Even today no only they deport Palestinian families out of their land, but also bulldoze theirs homes. It seems to me that the the victims of the past have become the perpetrators. Very sad.

Happy and carefree

Heartbreaking

I think the that the film being partially destroyed makes this an even better composition. Very apropos

This person had loved ones but they weren't there or able to take care of him after death. Knowing a bit about Jewish funeral practices, it's horrible to think that no one was able to do the right thing by him. It adds another layer of sadness to this.

So "normal" amongst all the horror.

Someone with a name!

Plac Kościelny - Church Square. Sorry, i'm complaining about descriptions, but I'm living near of the places on photograpies, so i just can't leave it with mistakes :P

Such a happy gathering.

Keeping spirits up

It's "Zgierska" from Zgierz City, there's a misspelling :)

Imagine most of us today being able to bundle our belongings like this!

He has experienced a lot of hunger. He shows a lot of temporal wasting.
