An Emotional Movement in the Photojournalistic World

History is a series of stories, and documented moments that have some how managed to shine throughout the past, and has ultimately impacted our future. 

Just like almost everyone, we communicate the best visually.  We want to be offered a visual companion to the jumble of words that are filling the pages of our history books. 

A picture itself, can say so much without even having a title explanation.  Emotions, empathy, honesty and heart are all examples of just what a certain image can capture in just a single shot.

From 1941 to about 1945 America was faced with some of the darkest and utmost discriminating turmoil that has forever changed worldwide belief.  The Holocaust and World War II is debated as one of the most impinging factors not only on economy and society but also a certain growth in our artistic culture.  Photography was developing slowly at this time, and photojournalists were beginning to capture the raw sequences of the events that has forever changed the world we live in today.

I could write an entire essay for you to state just exactly what happened throughout those years when Hitler and the Nazi's gained control over Germany.  Seizing and methodically murdering a countless number of innocent people, America has sincerely witnessed a worldwide genocide.

A diverse account of photographs have been collected over the years, and all of them resembling an  individual story.  The emotion is raw, the people are real, and the
story behind these images are devastating.

Its truly amazing the story as simple as a photograph can express.
