The passages on 'baby farming' and a description of watching a baby die of measles while the parents stoically and helplessly looked has the potential to ruin my night

There was a picture of a Nazi guard tossing a baby into a truck filled with bodies and dying prisoners.
It was coupled with a memoir that detailed instances where a baby, still alive, would fall off of the pile, and a guard or an officer would pick up the baby by whatever limb was closest, arm or leg, and toss it like a frisbee back into the pile, seemingly unaffected by the wailing.
I've seen a lot of shocking pictures and images, but when I saw that picture the first time all I could hear was a baby crying and I fought the urge to vomit.
