3 Photo Analysis
Picture 1:
Who are the people in the photograph?
In the first picture it is four young boys.
What is the situation of the people in the photograph? Provide evidence from the photo
that tells you this.
When first looking at it you see four young boys riding their bike, but when you look
closer they are doing the Nazi sign.
What message do you think the photographer was trying to convey?
I believe that the photographer was trying to capture the fact that these young boys are
going on about their day while still honoring Hitler and the horrible situations that were going
on. I also think that these boys did not understand the message they sent while doing the Nazi
sign.
Why is this photograph important to history?
This photo shows how much impact Hitler had in the past and how people of all ages
participated in it.
What questions does this photograph raise?
This makes many people wonder why parents would allow their sons to be doing the
Nazi sign at such a young age.
Write your own caption for the photograph:
Nazi sign effect young men.
What could you do to find more information about this photograph?
To find more information on this photo, I could research more information about the
Holocaust and the people that impacted. I could also research how Hitler was able to have such
an influence on people during this time.
Based on what you have observed list 3 things you might infer from the photograph

2. 1. I think that these boys could have possibly been a part of the Holocaust.
2. I have also noticed that the one boy has a camera on his side that he could be
documenting everything that was going on.
3. I also believe that this bike ride could have been taken in the evening with the many
shades and glare from the sun.
Picture 2:
Who are the people in the photograph?
In this photo, the men in the pictures are soldiers.
What is the situation of the people in the photograph? Provide evidence from the photo
that tells you this.
. These soldiers are overseas fighting in a war. There are many suns around, in a deserted
area. In the background it looks that there could possibly be a tent and other men still at work.
What message do you think the photographer was trying to convey?
This photo sends the message that even while away from family and fighting for the
country, you can find some amazing friends that turn into brothers.
Why is this photograph important to history?
This photo is proof that once again, a country is a war fighting.
What questions does this photograph raise?
This photo makes me wonder when it was taken because of the mixer of males, from
color to ages?
Write your own caption for the photograph:
While fighting, men are able to take a break too.
What could you do to find more information about this photograph?
To find out what country this is for, I could try to research old military uniform for
different countries. From there I would be able to possibly find out time periods and even the
war.
Based on what you have observed list 3 things you might infer from the photograph
1. In the picture, I noticed that while all of these men are sitting all together almost
every single one has a cigarette in their mouth or hand.
2. It also looks as if they are all sitting on what is supposed to be protection if attacked.
3. In the far background, it looks that the fields are bare and nothing but dirt for miles.

3. Picture 3:
Who are the people in the photograph?
This picture has many middle aged men that look middle or higher class.
What is the situation of the people in the photograph? Provide evidence from the photo
that tells you this.
From this picture, I understand that all the men are very angry about something because
they are pouring out something with relieved looks on their face.
What message do you think the photographer was trying to convey?
I believe the photographer was trying to spread awareness about what is going on.
Why is this photograph important to history?
It shows that many of our ancestors had to stand up for what they believed in, even if that
meant that they had to do things differently.
What questions does this photograph raise?
I wonder what exactly the men are pouring out and why they are.
Write your own caption for the photograph:
Hope nobody wanted anymore water…
What could you do to find more information about this photograph?
I could research any events that started with the rebellion of pouring out liquids to figure
out what the problem is about and how it all began.
Based on what you have observed list 3 things you might infer from the photograph
1. I noticed that on the buildings, there is writing that has meaning to it.
2. All of the men are gathered for some cause and that this had taken place further back in
history because there are no women.
3. This is was taken place at a turn on a road because how the curb is turned and the
unevenness within the street will all of the bricks.
