POLAND. 1948. Teresa, a child in a residence for disturbed children, grew up in a concentration camp. She drew a picture of “home” on the blackboard.

Okay so this is my moral dilemma with Tumblr. We are allowed to circulate such awful images in this far-removed context of referencing everything often without any purpose or forethought. At what point do we lose our humanity and merely become sorters oohing and aahing on command as real bodies flash before our screen eyes, writhing between the matrices of our pleasure machinal. This girl has obviously been through a very real hell. The best one can do is to recognize that it is educated, rational people that enacted perverse relations of violence upon this girl and so many others, not abstract evil or some all subsuming Hitler (To make a devil out of a man as is as good deifying him to me). Her trauma is the consequence of real actions within the potential of you and I. Be warned.
