Children in Concentration Camps, c. 1945
When Germany undertook the Holocaust and ethnic cleansing, children of outcast groups were generally automatic victims, unless they seemed useful for medical experiments. Great numbers of children died of starvation in occupied and besieged areas or were killed when the Germans exacted reprisals for acts of resistance. Teenagers were used as slave laborers; the children in this picture may be older than they look because of starvation.
