Remembering Our Humanity. Leitz Summitar 50mm

As I was driving home from work last evening, by a slightly different route, I passed this enormous billboard.  It stands next to the Interstate entering Boston from the west, starkly lit up by spotlights against the night sky. I resolved to return this evening to photograph it. The infamous building and railway tracks gave me quite a shock; it’s not what one expects to see on the way home from work.  But then, the billboard, and the exhibition it advertises are meant to shock.
On Memorial Day, 2015, I mused on how it was possible for the German people, who have made, arguably, amongst the greatest contributions to music, literature, art and science of any culture in our Western society, to become mesmerized by the rantings of a syphilitic psychopath, and, ultimately, to turn murder into an industrial process. 
A lot of water has flowed over the dam since 2015, and now the world is succumbing, once again, to the rantings of not one, but several syphilitic psychopaths.  The narrative is always the same:  "We were once great, a group of people came along - fill in the blank -, they took our greatness away.  But if you just follow my lead, - I, alone, can fix this problem -, we will eliminate that group of people, and then we will be great again". 
We’re in a very dangerous place; we have a decision to make in November whether we want this path for our country and by extension, the world, or whether we will stand firm in our resolve to avoid the road to darkness and eternal damnation.  The Auschwitz Exhibition comes at just the right time, and hopefully, it will shake our collective conscience and memory.
