A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words; a Phrase is Worth a Thousand Pictures

Extra Credit Op:

Check out the cache of photos at the College of New Jersey's Teaching American Political History site. Unfortunately there's no working search function (or at least no search function that works when I try it), but if you follow the links to the images you can scroll through chronologically. Most of the images from 1938-1945 are related to WWII and the Holocaust.

You can select one of the photos I've linked above (I overlinked – you've got options), but I encourage you to scroll through and find one that really grabs you, gets your emotions going – for good or ill. Once you've found a photo, do some research. Find out what it's depicting, why it was a picture worth taking and remains a picture worth keeping. Post a link to the image here (or you can get fancy and embed the photo directly in the blog) and write a paragraph explaining the history behind the image and why it matters.
