sad :'(

page 297

 Lauren posted something about the POW camps already but I couldn't comment the picture so I had to make a new post. Anyways, I could not ignore this picture. I felt sick to my stomach after seeing this. I know the book said that the people that survived looked like living skeletons but for some reason I just could not picture this. This is one of the saddest thing I've ever seen and although the men do not look particularly happy I cant help but notice their faces do not look as miserable as you would expect after looking at how withered their bodies look. I would assume that is because their body weight and hunger is the last thing they are worried about since they are probably facing much worse things in the prison camps making their skeletal looking bodies the least of their problems. I cant even imagine being in these men's situations nor can I imagine wanting to continue living once at that stage, practically a skeleton. all I can say is this picture was very eye opening and made me do a double take because I could not believe what I saw and that this was something that actually happened to so many people practically everyone that were lucky enough to survive in these prison camps. Plus on top of that to think that this was not even the worst of it.
