What do the mass graves say?
The mass graves tell us about all those people who were tortured to death by the Germans, how the enemies were shooting them by the fences, killing them, breaking their arms and cutting off their tongues. They harassed people horribly. Those people were all buried in mass graves, a few or a dozen people in each. Many fathers and sons lay in those graves. Many widows and orphans are left. Many mothers mourn their sons, children mourn their fathers, widows mourn their husbands. If those buried were to wake up and say what pain they had experienced, every listener would cry over them and swear to take revenge.
