Agree or disagree: Iconic WW2-era photo should be removed

78. What's next if you censor this?

Putting TWs on every single photo of soldiers being killed, or the photos of prisoners in the camps? Or the bodies at Buchenwald and Auschwitz? I say HELL NO! You don't and can't censor history, no matter what it was.

I've told the story before, of finding the US Camera 1946 in our attic when I was 9 (all the other editions were in our bookcase, but not that one) and seeing the picture of the bodies piled at Buchenwald. I stared at it for a long time, sitting there on the attic steps, and then went downstairs and asked my mother about it. She gave me an explanation, suitable I guess for my 9 year old brain, and that was it for the time being, but it shaped how I thought about WWII, and it shaped much of who I am today. It may have been wise to keep that book away from my younger brothers at the time, However, when they were older, it reappeared on the shelves.
