Pictures of Holocaust Victims

They are always grainy. Slightly out of focus due to age. Their subjects stand sadly stoic. Their faces all the same but different. Eyes dark with hopelessness and pain sprinkled with some sense of disbelief. These pictures, some seventy years after they were snapped, still scream impossibly loud with their silence. Countless faces, forgotten to the fog of time, stare back blankly begging for compassion that will never come.
