Blog 3 : Photo Analysis


The photograph I found was in Life magazins one hundered photos that changed the world. It is a photo of Buchenwald in 1949.It is a black and white still photo.There is a lady at the left side of the picter crying at dead bodys. The army men in the back of the picter are standing or walking. The bodys of the dead people are naked and in a pile.

I see a lady crying at the bodys that is there. Maby she sees someone she knows or she is just sick of what was going on. The concentration camp of all those dead Jews make me sick to my stomach , to think that a humen wanted to kill other innocent humans is inreal. It makes me think of all those dead slaves that came to America to be killed because they were different.

The photographer is Margaret Bourke-White he went with platton troops to liberate concentration camps. The army made German civilians walk threw the camps to see what there nation did with the Jews. Hitler killed over a million Jews men, women, and children in those camps. The camps had gas chambers that they killed the Jews in. These events that happened so long ago still affect this world today.

The photographer's intention was probley to show the world what was going on in Germany. She wanted the world to know that the dehumanizing of the Jews was real. Who every sees this photo would be disgested by the bodys. Other people reaction would probley make them want to find out more about the picter and help . Then who ever looks at this photo would tell other people about it and then the meida would tell the world.
