A Child at Gunpoint[1] is one of the photos [2] of Stroop Report. It is one of the most iconic photos of the twentieth century.

"Widely regarded as the most haunting image we have of the Holocaust, the photo of a young boy with his hands up being driven from the Warsaw ghetto has served as a touchstone for everyone from the Nuremberg prosecutors to Elie Wiesel, and from Susan Sontag to revisionist ranters on the web." -Richard Raskin
