34. I've avoided watching graphic scenes since the 70's last examples listed

Apr 2022

Our H.S. history teachers showed our classes newsreels of U.S. soldiers liberating Jewish people from death camps. I read several books from our uncensored h.s. library about the death camps.

Time magazine showed hanged bodies in a Middle Eastern country. I canceled the subscription and told them why. That was the last graphic picture I viewed.

I am aware of man's inhumanity to man. My mind fills in the blanks. Even if I scroll on by, I spend a lot of time horrified.
