With the war, food production was brought to a halt in many regions of Europe. Any government, not just the German, would feed its population and its soldiers first. You can't expect prisoners in concentration camps to be fed like if they were in a hotel. Thus, it is no surprise that pictures could be taken of people who were nearing starvation.
However, the picture has a shocking effect. The first (and surely only) thing you will notice is the man who is being carried by another and the foreground legs of the other man. But look at the prisoner who is carrying him or at the one behind.
And now look at these pictures of a British concentration camp in South Africa, during the Boer War:
The Brits left the wives and children of the Afrikaners to starve to death because they couldn't defeat the Boer Guerrilla. Read this account:

According to a British journalist, WT Stead, the concentration camps were nothing more than a cruel torture machine. He writes: "Every one of these children who died as a result of the halving of their rations, thereby exerting pressure onto their family still on the battle-field, was purposefully murdered. The system of half rations stands exposed and stark and unshamefully as a cold-blooded deed of state policy employed with the purpose of ensuring the surrender of people whom we were not able to defeat on the battlefield."

Needless to say, the Brits have never apologized for this. On a recent visit of the Queen of England to South Africa, not a word of sorrow or regret was heard from her despite the demands from the Afrikaner people.
Now, having said that, I don't believe in 'total revisionism'. As in nothing happened. I do believe, however, that things have been greatly magnified with the planned intention of obtaining a long-term profit. The figures given by the Red Cross right after the war vastly differ from those given by Holocaust propaganda. Vastly as in
millions of difference.
Also, if you look at the XIVth-XVth centuries (and extended through the XVIth and even into the XVIIth centuries) events against Jews in Spain, I must say that Germany was pretty inefficient when compared to Spain.
One last word about Revisionism and Holocaust. Today, and after long
centuries of having to bear with the
Black Legend about Spain designed and promoted by England and the Jewry, historians are reviewing it chapter by chapter. These revisionist historians are known as Hispanists, and many British and Anglo-Americans are counted among them. However, it is much too late as the image of the evil Spaniard, the evil Inquisition, etc.. has been present in people for far too many generations. And you don't expect everyone to read those books.
So basically the Germans are suffering their own
Black Legend called
Holocaust.
