The situation in this photograph is of Jews in the town of Budapest being lined up before being counted and then eventually put on the trains that would take them to the concentration camps. They would sometimes stand for hours on end having to go through roll call over and over again. I think it is a memorable photo because you hear about these things through books and news stories but to actually see them lined up being readied for there transport to certain doom is so surreal. It makes it more real.
