Picture analysis

During the next few weeks I will be reading the novel "Fatelessness" from the author Imre Kertez. The book story is based on the holocaust during WWII so i think that in order to understand better this context  analysing the next image will be vey helpful.

1) What do you see in the picture?

 You can see a the hand of a man pointing towards the sky but in the middle of the way there is a barbed wire fene. There is no formal activity going on, but probably he wants to get past the fence.

2) make three inferences based on what you have observed.

a) Germans were taking freedom away from people
b) There were there in and by very unfair conditions
c) They were desperate to get out of there

3) What questions does this image raise in your mind?

- How can people be so cruel?
-What right do they have to send people in there?
-Can you really take away someone`s freedom?

4) Describe the mood of the image.

 For me the image represent desperation and the gradual and constant loose of hope from being free again by all these concentration camp prisoners.

5) what information do you already know about the  Holocaust?

I know that Hitler believes  in a superior race and that for him Jewish and slavs should be exterminated, so when he conquers eastern europe  he start taken prisoners, sending them to concentration camps, from wich they never return back...
