~ US soldiers examine a pile of shoes that had belonged to prisoners stacked against a wall in the Flossenbuerg concentration camp.
The original caption reads:
"When troops of the 90th Infantry division, Third U.S. Army, captured Floss, Germany, six miles from the Czechoslovakian border, another Nazi concentration camp passed out of existence. The camp, fenced off with electrical barbed wire, contained 16,000 sick and starved inmates, including 400 cases of typhus. Originally, the enclosure confined 60,000 political prisoners and military prisoners-of-war of all nations. It was estimated that 1,400 a month died of starvation after which their remains were burned by Nazi guards. Before the Germans fled to rear areas all inmates able to walk. These pictures were taken April 24, 1945, after entry of American forces into the town."

Somewhere in that pile are likely the shoes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Can't help but wonder if there are any Christians in this generation who could even come close to filling them?
