Mass Grave Mapping
The burial of undocumented human remains in unmarked burials is an atrocity and crime against humanity under many international agreements. With geophysical and other methods, we will explore for, map, and contextualize World War II Holocaust period mass graves. By doing so, we memorialize the victims; we help to create a historical narrative of past atrocities; we provide some closure to survivors and successive generations; and perhaps we send a message to potential perpetrators that no matter what you do to hide your crimes, you will be discovered.
