"Charged" Image

I remember as a kid seeing pictures from the holocaust, and the genocide of the Jewish race during WWII. Looking back, I always rembered how powerful and horrible so many of the images and photographs were that I had looked at. My grandfather was a B-17 pilot for the U.S. and he married my grandmother in Germany right before the U.S. involvement int the war. My grandmother was a full blooded hardcore German woman with opinions to last a life time. Though she was against the war and against what Hitler was doing to the Jewish people, we did have some extended family members who were a part of, and in support of the Nazi agenda. I remember writing a paper about the Holocaust when i was in college at Yavapai back in 1999. I was in Terrence Pratts english-102 class. I actually interviewed my grandmother and grandfather whom i actually refer to as "Oma & Opa". With this paper I had to include some images of the autrocity and horror that the Jews had witnessed. There are so many images and pictures that show how horrible and sad that part of our worlds history was. I mean "horrible and sad" can't even begin to describe the experiance that the Jews had to endure. Images of the Hollocaust are ones that were so emotionally "charged" for me, that its almost like they're always in the back of my mind and i often think about what it had to feel like to be a Jew in Nazi Germany. There are so many images out there, but these are a few that emotionally grabbed me.http://sherryx.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/holocaust00.jpg
