The first thing that I notice when I look at this picture, is the expression on the young girl's face. By examining the girl's face, it is apparent that something is not right with her. She has a bewildered look on her face, and it seems like she has been caught for doing something wrong- and yet she is not disturbed by the fact that she might be in trouble. Instead it looks like she has just come to some type of realization, and is offended that someone would try to accuse her of doing something wrong (perhaps scribbling out bad names about her on the chalk board). Just by looking at the entire picture, it is clear that this little girl is in a school setting. It appears that she is wearing some type of school uniform, and she is standing at a black board. However, it looks like a group of students tried to offend her or bully her because she is scribbling out a bunch of words on the chalk board. It is clear that she has been picked on by several people, as there are different words all over the board in different handwriting.
Just by looking at this image, I believe that this child is Jewish. She is white- so clearly students would not be discriminating her based off of race. In addition to this, she has a darker hair color and not the ideal fair skin and blue eyes that Aryans have. The words on the chalkboard seem to be written in a different language- so it is likely that this is occurring in a foreign country. Also the photograph is black and white- suggesting that this could have been during the Holocaust.
