There is a beautiful Canadian cemetery there. Officially it is even Canadian territory. 1394 men have been buried there.

Sometimes they bear witness to the darker side of humanity. Horrors of war occurred in other times, but the age of the photo has given special powers to the camera. We live in a new age too with mobiles. The cell phone camera may be even more powerful to destroy tyrants.

You know, it occurs to me we learn about war in school, and we learn the names of major battles, and we learn the names of the gas chamber locations, but the horror inflicted in small doses is left to the families of victims. I appreciate that you have written about this very sad event, and I'm glad there is a memorial.

I too was headed in this direction, but the stories and the photos were too haunting to continue and I had to do a complete turn around for the post.
