This is one of the most iconic photos of the Holocaust. It was taken in 1943 in the Warsaw Ghetto. The image of the innocent child with guns pointed at him, being taken away to his death, represents the clash of innocence with evil, of Jewish victim and Nazi oppressor. In this case, a picture says more than any words can.
This is the modern day equivalent of that picture.
One thing bothers me. There has been tremendous sadness about this but no anger. The Bibas' were killed by evil people, deliberately. Where is the anger? Where are the calls for revenge? The reaction among Jews seems to be the same as if they died in a bus accident.
