March 20 - Little Buildings

Little buildings cover my little map of Europe. Little representations of the big places lots of people were held in and killed at. Little red hotels for the extermination camps. Little blue cubes for the labor camps. Little yellow circles for the concentration camps. Little green houses for the mixed camps. Little black gems for the transit camps. Little representations of big, horrible, things. Little versions of the events that conspired between 1939 and 1945.

Big buildings covered most of Europe. Big places where people were held and killed. Big extermination camps. Small labor camps. Medium concentration camps. Large mixed camps. Varying transit camps. Big places that saw so many people, humans were no longer a big problem. Little people in the grand scheme of the events that conspired between 1939 and 1945.

WWII on the brain. My map can't convey everything that happened. Can't explain how many people were killed. Can't even begin to explain how horrible the events that conspired between 1939 and 1945 truly were.

  1. Very well-written, almost poetic. Nice job, despite the fact that the subject is depressing.
    On a completely unrelated note, it makes me happy to see that you got Yugoslavia's borders correct for the time period.
