🚨 vivid descriptions

... (back then, closet to WWII) photos of emaciated survivors liberated by US troops, probably open pits with skeletons, the barbed wire, entrances, the rail road tracks, the rail cars, and the gas chambers, and their"shower heads".
These would be shown around certain anniversaries. Certainly the stories as well.

But I don't think I ever seen a photo of (I knew about them) the ovens. Gak!
