What do you see in these pictures?
What do you see in these pictures of Nazi's Belsen concentration camp just after its liberation by British troops in 1945? I see human and wasting it*, naively stupid. Its ability to shape chaos out of nowhere. Doesn't differ if that is hitting one's own daughter, in a case of domestic violence, or the catastrophe of 35,000 corps in one Belsen.
