Description

Many Jews died in the ghettos from disease and starvation before they were taken to the concentration camps .

The Jews themselves had to remove and bury the bodies in mass graves.

This image was inspired, if that’s the right word, by a photograph of two men dragging a body to the grave.

It was taken by the Germans with the intention of showing how callus the Jews were.
