Hello, I really wanted to go to this event but was unable to due to a work commitment. Is there any way to see it or to read about the cemeteries? Do you have a book on this topic? Thank you!
I’ve had an article waiting to be published for about a decade. Preparing this encouraged me to uncover some additional resources.
If I find a venue to publish it I will let you know.
