I apologize if this has already been pointed out…but I see two different groups of children at the pool…one group sits along a bench at what appears the top of the pool?…dressed in white with red shoes…some have white straps…the two in the center do look similar. These children have what appears to be blood on their hands/knuckles but otherwise do not appear distressed. The children in the second picture appear to be in the bottom of the pool and appears distressed, beaten and shoeless. Perhaps the children in white clothes/red shoes (power) are the ones torturing the children that appear beaten and on their knees?…just a thought…and yeah…those two twin looking ones in the middle do look like they have Anderson Cooper eyes.

Some info and Jews and shoes by Jacob Chintz:

“What was normal dress for Jews in ancient days with regard to shoes? If the removal of the shoe denotes a loss of dignity, if the shoe serves as a symbol of transfer of property, if the shoe is not to be worn in certain places – then it seems that the shoe was both a symbol of dignified dress and at the same time was associated with dust and thus unfit for holy places and holy activity.”

“There is no word in Hebrew that connotes wearing shoes, but there is one for being barefoot. "Yahef" is defined in Gesenius' Hebrew Lexicon as follows: "to be without shoes. The ultimate root lies in the syllable chaf, chet, peh, and the primary notion is that of peeling, removing the bark of shell." This implies that being barefoot was being deprived of normal dress.”

“…Louis Ginzburg further elaborates the theme of shame with regard to shoelessness: The brethren of Joseph bought shoes for the money (from the sale of Joseph), for they said: "We will not eat it, because it is the price for the blood of our brother, but we will tread upon him, for that he spake, he would have dominion over us, and we will see what will become of his dreams." And for this reason the ordinance has been commanded, that he who refuseth to raise up a name in Israel unto his brother that hath died without having a son, shall have his shoe loosed from off his foot, and his face shall be spat upon.”
