There are people who I dislike in this world - but there is no one who I could ever imagine treating the way that the Jews and others were treated by the Nazis. These photos, and the other photos on the wikipedia page that was linked in someone else's comment, are very very disturbing, however I urge people to look at these at least once so that you can see what happens when you allow yourself to believe that others are sub-human.
God. The last woman on the right appears to be late term pregnant. As awful and heart-breaking as these are to look at, people should really see this and take a moment to consider the weight of it.
Every time I see a photo like this I think of the narrative at the end of the episode of the Twilight Zone "Deaths-Head Revisted." A reminder that as soon as we forget or forgive this type of disgusting behavior we're doomed for it to happen again.
"All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes – all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge, but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the gravediggers. Something to dwell on and to remember, not only in the Twilight Zone but wherever men walk God's Earth.
