The images of naked, starving bodies some dead, some half alive seemed profane and it seemed wrong that people were looking at them, particularly knowing that members of my family were among the dead and survivors.

But then I realized that it is important for people to see things like this in all their horror. People should not be able to shield themselves from it. They should see how terrible it is and understand what it is about. Then lets see people try to defend it or pretend it doesn't happen or that it isn't so bad.
