mass grave marker

A marker on a wall commemorates children buried on the grounds of the St. Mary's Mother and Baby Home, a nun-run institution in County Galway, Ireland, where unwed mothers and their children were housed in brutal conditions. Hundreds of children were allegedly buried on the site, many inside a sewage tank, after dying of neglect, malnutrition and disease. (Photo by CAIN BURDEAU/Courthouse News Service)
