15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Touching History

Observing people's reactions in the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin.I was fascinated by the young man's move when he just raised his hand and touched one of the concrete steles. I tried to depict in this photo and set as an example, the respect and the honor that this man showed to this memorial and the truly horrific historical events that represents.
