Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Ponary massacre
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) It is intended as the lead image for the massacre article to help visualize its scale and the infamous "killing pits"
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
This is a historic photograph of an event in 1941-1944. There we have only a couple of photos taken during the massacre by the same person, so no free alternative exists. Photos taken after the event (such as exhumations) do not have the comparable impact on the reader or historic detail.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The image will illustrate only one article where it is the only image of the event itself. The resolution has been reduced by 50%. Due to low quality of the original, further reduction in resolution would render the image not useful to the reader. It is an image of a large outdoor area with many details that are essential in understanding and appreciating the massacre (for example, the hoods on the heads of the herded men at the center).
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
The photos are provided by Yad Vashem free of charge for personal, educational or noncommercial purposes.
