The bodies are lying in a big rectangular hole on top of each other and this shows where they waste them off. There is a wagon in the background that they carry the bodies on to transfer them to be in the waste. This picture is really sad, because you do not see images like that now a day. It makes my heart hurt for all of the innocent people that got their lives taken away from them for no reason what so ever.
