The Irish Genocide 1845-52

Asenath Nicholson “In the same vicinity was the bed of a little orphan girl, who had crept into a hole in the bank, and died one night, with no one to close her eyes, or wash and fit her for the grave. She died unheeded, the dogs lacerated the body, gnawed the bones, and strewed them about the bog.” Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 100 images, 400 eye witness quotes: http://www.jerrymulvihill.com
