Answer:

Photography shows frightened prisoners in the Buchenwald camp in the wake of liberation (1945.). It was taken by Margaret Bourke-White.

Explanation:

The photography in question is the Liberation of Buchenwald by Margaret Bourke-White, an American photographer, and photojournalist.

The image shows the prisoners of Nazi concentration camp Buchenwald in the wake of liberation in April 1945. This notorious death camp was used to capture various people Nazis were against (Jews, Slavs, Roma people, political prisoners, etc.) and we can see them in this photograph, looking through the fence and waiting for freedom. We can see they are malnourished, confused, frightened, expectant, even vary of the people looking at them from the other side of the fence. This all is because of the harsh conditions they endured in the camp.

The photo awakens the feeling of fright about humanity, the sadness that they have been treated that way, and wish to help them (even though it is the time long past gone). When we see the horror in their eyes and confusion, we are emphatic of their situation and scared of the terrible events that have happened and have been caused by other humans. There is also a touch of hope that they will reach their freedom, and happiness that they have managed to survive after all.

The thoughts photo evokes are about the horrors of war and how one human can treat others so awfully. It makes us question humanity and the people, and what causes this type of behavior.

Answer:

A photographic essay is a narrative or story, consisting of a series of related images. The photograph is by Margaret Bourke White, and is entitled, The Living Dead. The photograph is of German men brought by Gen. Patton's men to view the cruel acts and death their leaders had imposed on the people held at Buchenwald (concentration camp) during WWII. The men look so shocked and frightened about what they are looking at, that they appear to be speechless and remorseful.
