This is an image taken on May 6, 1945 at the Ebensee concentration camp in Austria. It represents the holocaust in a single photograph. These people would wake up at 4:30 AM every single day to build underground tunnels all day until 6 PM. What they are wearing may not even be classified as clothing, and their knees show starvation and shrinking of the muscles and bones. These people are here for merely being themselves. After staring at this photo for the past 5 minutes my mind has opened up and I have realized that America is so incapable of feeling what it's like to truly suffer. Here in America, the homeless are better off than 90% of Africa, the poorest of the poor have more than all of these people in the photograph combined, and we complain and survive while these people live with humbleness in their hearts. Hearts that will likely stop beating.
