The desensitization of humanity is reiterated when the boy covers himself with what seems like a shield decorated with a cross, but instead is a type of bullseye used as a target for the murdering of innocence (Rainbow Boy, 1997; Small Target, 1997). In The Star of Vilna, a ragged wooden fence has a hole cut in the shape of the boy, and through it one can see him standing. It is the boy's body--his two arms, two legs and head--which...
