Jewish Comparison Photo Project

In the first picture is a couple of Jewish kids from Bamberg, Germany living their normal lives. We can say that because they are smiling freely back to back and are dressed up and enjoying themselves with a curtain background, like in a home. In the second photo is my two older sisters and me dressed up for Halloween. In the background there is a commotion and a large room indicating a party of some sort is the setting. In both pictures there is a sense of unity and fun. Both pictures involve costumes and are not profile photos. They are similar also in that they are very natural, loving, and family oriented. However, they are different in background, number of people,  ages of people, and of course costumes. Both show normal and ordinary lives and how to protect them we can not allow genocide (injustice) to go unchecked, because it can destroy this happy picture in a matter of minutes.
