I especially love these ossuary photos. I was showing them to a co-worker today, and wishing that when I die, I could be made into something that striking.
Thank you and YES! That! ---> and wishing that when I die, I could be made into something that striking. I think that part of the reason I loved this place so much was because we had spent several days before traveling here at Auschwitz, Birkenau, and the Oskar Schindler Enamel Factory (museum). After those places, where people (alive and dead) were treated as less than cord wood and commodities, experiencing something like this, where even though anonymous, the remains were treated with such care and reverence to create something beautiful as a memorial, was oddly uplifting.
