Explanation:

Photo essay presents the set of systematic photographs that tell the story and are put together to awake emotions in the observer. Just like the written essays, they are connected with a theme, order, and purpose, but they are supposed to be made only out of photographs and perhaps small pieces of text like the caption.

The photo presented is The Living Dead at Buchenwald and the photographer is Margaret Bourke-White.

It shows the prisoners of concentration camp Buchenwald in the wake of the liberation. They are watching, confused and scared, over the fence at the new group of people, not sure what is going to happen.

The photograph evokes sadness and shock at the horrors of the tragedy. Looking at the men, we can see how frightened, yet almost hopeful they are, and we can only imagine the terrible things they have endured. Their looks and the condition in which they are (malnourished, sad, fatigued) can make the observer shiver and feel deep heartache for the men. Yet, there is a tinge of hope at the fact that they will finally be free at last.
