This is a picture of children in the Holocaust. There were millions of kids that were sent to the camps with their families and they really weren't treated much different than the adults were. They were all tortured and malnourished and much more on top of that. When I look at pictures of children in the Holocaust, it makes me think back to the book, "Night" when Elie Wiesel arrives at the camp with his father. He is asked what is age is and he lies and tells the SS guard that he is 18. He does to spare his life as long as he can becasue in a lot of cases, as children arrived, they were sent straight to death or to Dr. Mengele.
