Wrong. There are plenty of pictures of that atrocity that are not excessively violent.

Further, many violent pictures and movies (eg people beng strangled with piano 
wire) were made by the Nazis themselves for their own gratification. It
was not propaganda for public consumption.

This contrasts strongly with Berg's murder. That was meant to be circulated by 
those who made it. y publihing it here, wikipedia untimately played into their 
hands.
