The Horrors of the Holocaust

This will be the most horrific post I have done on the Holocaust. Generally, I try to avoid graphic images because they make me feel uncomfortable.

However, there is nothing comfortable about the Holocaust, and it should make us feel uneasy. There were millions murdered in the most gruesome way possible. I can’t even say imaginable, because I still can’t imagine it. Even those who survived suffered for years to come, sometimes until they died, at times decades later.

The photograph above is of the bodies of women and children found during the liberation of Auschwitz.

“My memories from there have stayed with me all my life,” said Aleksander Vorontsov, who was part of a film crew that captured some of the horror the troops found at Auschwitz, remembered. “All of that was the most moving and horrific thing that I filmed during the war.”
