Hadamar:
Day Two

Question: "Do
you think the living descendents now know what happened to the people
who died here"?
"Last year we had
60 letters from families who wanted to know if a member of their family
had been killed here. Each year this number increases. Now it’s
the generation of the third and they find it easier to ask. This is why
they write letters, come here… Often it’s that someone dies
and another is looking at all the papers and they find a document from
Hadamar, for example, and they come here. Often suspicion leads them here."
