In 1929, this was a simple picture: boys playing together on a street in Bremen, Germany. But events would soon carry these boys – some of whom were Jewish – to very different fates. Phoebe McDougal of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum tells us the touching story of how they found each other again years after the Holocaust.
IranWire’s Photos That Define the Holocaust series reviews photographs, chosen by United States Holocaust Memorial Museum historians, staff, and Youth Ambassadors. Each photo tells a unique story of the Holocaust. Some depict daily life for Jews during the Second World War, some expose antisemitic Nazi propaganda, while others show instances of clandestine documentation of Nazi persecution. The videos also demonstrate how photographs can be used to understand the past, humanize historical events, and honor victims.
