Obliteration
–It is…virtually impossible to find the full photographic record of any concentration camp.
Sybil Milton (1999)
Sometimes all you can see is a document,
Sometimes what you perceive
is only what someone else wants you to see.
The greatest tragedies are offstage.
But sometimes you can peek
into the details, beyond the frame,
around the corner, inside the eyes,
even behind the shutter.
And only then you know
what was really there.
