There are so many pictures to choose from; each more disturbing than the next. I was tempted to pick one that showed the starving prisoners, with their rib cages jutting out and their eyes completely sunken in to their faces. But then I remembered the time I visited the Richmond Holocaust Museum, and we went through a mini replica of a gas chamber. The concrete walls had been indented with finger scratches. Out of all the things I saw at the museum, that is what hit me the hardest. It's disturbing and violent, and it is such a metaphorical representation of the Holocaust as a whole. Soft human fingernails tore against the solid concrete and left these huge gashes.
